Christ Ecce Homo next to the Elements of the Passion, José Joaquín Magón, Mexican colonial school of the 18th century, New Spain, signed and dated 1771 Mexican painter active in Puebla, New Spain during the 18th century, perhaps the most famous of his time. It is known that he was born in Puebla and that he cultivated both poetry and painting. The cathedral of his native city preserves several of his works: some paintings in the chapel of Our Lady of the Snows, a Patronage of Our Lady in the sacristy, which has been attributed to Berrueco but which is more in the style of Magón. In the sacristy in the Sanctuary of Ocotlán, in Tlaxcala, there are the following canvases with Scenes of the Passion: Holy Supper of 1754, Arrest, Crowning with Thorns, Street of Bitterness and Calvary. In the convent of La Merced, in Atlixco, a large painting with the Patronage of Our Lady of Mercy from 1763. In the State College in Puebla there is a Santa Pulquería from 1757; in the parish of the Cross, a San Juan Nepomuceno. Measurements: 75 x 50 cm
