Restored Oil Paintings
Painted in 1713 by Mexican artist Miguel Correa

"These paintings constitute a truly spectacular series of
incomparable historical and artistic value. I know of no other collection
of paintings from the misssions of northern Mexico that rivals this one in terms
of quality of artistry or thematic development."
