Painter. Brother of José Campeche. Some of Miguel’s paintings have been erroneously attributed to José in his youth, as Miguel’s paintings are of inferior quality to Jose’s and the line is more prominent than the fields of colors, as in José’s early paintings. Miguel was the older of the two Campeche brothers and he, like their other brother, Ignacio, often worked as an assistant in José’s studio. Unsurprisingly, given the time at which the work was produced, the paintings deal mainly with religious images and scenes of Virgins and saints.
