In portraying his native country during decades of enormous societal change, he depicted its magnificent scenery, storied past, and rapid industrialisation, most famously in his monumental representations of the Valley of Mexico, the area surrounding modern Mexico City. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Velasco was a true polymath, and much more than a painter of the national landscape. He was also a practising botanist, naturalist, and geologist with highly developed interests in archaeology and cartography. His curiosity about the natural world profoundly shaped his work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book, the first monograph on Velasco to be published outside Mexico, provides a fresh appraisal of his work. Essays by scholars from the United States, Britain, and Mexico focus on his life and career, his interest in contemporary science, and his legacy for artists today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished by National Gallery Global\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDexter Dalwood\u003c\/b\u003e is an artist and independent curator. \u003cb\u003eDaniel Sobrino Ralston\u003c\/b\u003e is the CEEH Associate Curator of Spanish Paintings at the National Gallery, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 10.42 x 9.77 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 26, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44814871003238,"sku":"9781857097252","price":38.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/ZC4RwPN74Z9781857097252.webp?v=1771851282","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/jose-maria-velasco-a-view-of-mexico-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
