The emergence of a sizeable body of works signed "Arellano" in the 1990s allowed for a more focused attention on what we now know to have been one of the most important ateliers active in Mexico City from about 1690-1730. The atelier was led by two artists, Manuel de Arellano (active 1690-1721) and Antonio de Arellano (active 1693-1711), and as the works arising from this studio were signed "Arellano," it sometimes becomes difficult to decipher between the two artists.
