El obrador de la familia Cuentas en Guadalajara

Abstract

Diego de Cuentas is one of the best known painters of eighteenth-century Guadalajara. This article provides data about the artist and his family derived from a document found in the Archives of the Real Audiencia de Guadalajara. Information contained in litigation by the painter's grandson against his uncle over the sale of a house sheds light on the dynamics of the work of colonial painters in general and of this family in particular.
