He was a Zapotec Indian, and was patronized by Salinas, archbishop of Mexico. There is a fine head of St. Peter by him in the church of San Hipdlito, and a very large canvas in the Mexican cathedral. His masterpieces in the sacristy of the church of Tasco depict the whole life of the Virgin, the scene of the nativity being considered particularly fine.
