ALCIBAR, José de
(b. 0 , d. 0 )
Mexican painter, the last of the painters belonging to the old Mexican school. Very little is known about his life. He was a member of the Mexican academy of art which existed in Mexico City from 1753. The academy probably consisted mostly of Christian subject painters and possibly sculptors. Alcibar executed many works of merit, especially two large paintings in the cathedral of Mexico, dated 1779.
