Antonio de Espinosa is a Mexican Early Baroque Italian artist. 6 works are cataloged here, principally at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Antonio de Espinosa painted large folding screens in 17th-century New Spain, a time when Mexico was still part of Spain’s colonial world. His series *The Twelve Months of the Year* shows each month with customs, landscapes, and daily life in vivid colors. These screens were practical—dividing rooms—but also told stories of seasons, trade, and local culture. Tap into *The Twelve Months of the Year* to see how one work could decorate a home and mark the calendar at once.
