José María Velasco: A View of Mexico

The exhibition “José María Velasco: A View of Mexico” celebrates one of the greatest 19th-century landscape painters in the Americas. Velasco’s panoramic views of the Valley of Mexico, home of modern-day Mexico City, are painted with exquisite detail, honoring the country’s rich historical heritage and the rapid modernization it underwent in the late 1800s.
