Anonymous portrait of a religious man in New Spain in the late 18th century. Some speculate it might depict Miguel Hidalgo, who started the Mexican War of Independence.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Late 18th-century oil portrait of a man in clothes of a religious figure, standing next to a table covered in a red mantle, resting his right hand on top.

The clothes and some aspects of the face of the man are similar to a physical description of the revolutionary leader Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla given by Mexican politician and historian Lucas Alamán, who got to meet him in person at the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence, which has lead some to believe it might be one of the only portraits of him made during his lifetime which have survived, which then would've been done while he was the principal of the Colegio de San Nicolás in Valladolid (modern-day Morelia, Michoacán), though this idea is criticized by some historians who find these similarities too vague.

The painting is currently located in the Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City, the National Museum of History.
Español: Retrato al óleo de fines del siglo XVIII de un hombre en ropa de religioso, parado junto a una mesa cubierta con un manto rojo, apoyando su mano derecha sobre él.

La ropa y algunos rasgos del rostro del hombre se asemejan a una descripción física del líder revolucionario Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla ofrecida por el político e historiador mexicano Lucas Alamán, quien lo conoció en persona al inicio de la guerra de independencia de México, lo cual ha llevado a la idea de que se trataría de uno de los únicos retratos de él hechos cuando aún estaba vivo que han sobrevivido, y que entonces se habría hecho cuando era rector del Colegio de San Nicolás en Valladolid (actual Morelia, Michoacán), aunque esta idea es criticada por algunos historiadores quienes ven estas similitudes como demasiado vagas.

La pintura está actualmente ubicada en el Castillo de Chapultepec en Ciudad de México, el Museo Nacional de Historia.
