Federico Cantú 1907-1989 Los informantes de Sahagún

  Federico Cantú 1907-1989 Informantes Los informantes de Sahagún Su nombre real era Bernardino de Rivera, Ribera o Ribeira. Hacia 1520 se trasladó a Salamanca para estudiar en su universidad, por entonces un centro de irradiación del Renacimiento en España. Allí aprendió latín, historia, filosofía y teología. Hacia mitad de la década, decidió entrar en la orden franciscana, y probablemente se ordenó hacia 1527. Dos años después, en 1529, partiría hacia la recién conquistada Nueva España (México) en misión con otra veintena de frailes, encabezados por fray Antonio de Ciudad Rodrigo. Sus primeros años en la Nueva España trascurrieron en Tlalmanalco (1530-1532), para luego ser guardián (y probablemente fundador) del convento de Xochimilco (1535). En 1536 y por orden real, el arzobispo de México Juan de Zumárraga funda el imperial Colegio de la Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco. Desde el comienzo, el fraile franciscano enseñará latín allí.

The Madonna and Child is understood to be an intimate, devotional image. Some evocations of this understanding come from the burnt edges on the bottom of the original engaged frame caused by burning candles that likely would have sat just beneath Looking past the abrupt simplicity of the image, one can begin to understand the changes Duccio was applying to the depiction of religious figures in painting during the early 14th century. Duccio followed other innovative Italian artists of the time like Giotto, both of whom strove to move beyond the purely iconic Byzantine and Italo-Byzantine canon and attempted to create a more tangible c...

  Federico Cantú 1907-1989 Mexican Artist Born in 1907 in Cadereyta de Jimenez, Nuevo León, Federico Cantú was a prodigious talent who with barely fourteen years of age began his artistic career. In 1922 he enrolled at Alfredo Ramos Martínez, a newly established experimental school in Coyoacán, Mexico City. There he learned from his teacher's impressionistic techniques and before long he began working as an assistant to Diego Rivera, who newly arrived from Europe and was about to unleash an extravagant mural project that would change Mexico City and propel the careers of numerous artists. Mexican  philanthropist and intellectual Raúl Rangel Frías eloquently described Federico Cantu's colors as full of lyrical emotions, his luminous reds and greens create and add substance to the immaterial assets of the painting. Indeed, he believed the artist had a magic touch that enable him to endow his pigments with life. More importantly, he considered Cantu's way of painting, e...
