Abstract

This investigation is motivated by the formal correspondences that can be established between the image of the sculpture-group of Saint Joseph holding the hand of the Divine Infant, preserved in the small Italian city of Toirano, and pieces with the same iconography elaborated in Puebla de los Angeles during the same period. As such, this work presents different arguments that allow us to propose a new way of understanding its authorship, which has been ascribed until now to craftsmen from Liguria that had been settled in Cadiz, and instead attribute it to the sculptors from Puebla José Villegas Cora and Antonio Villegas Cora. Also, now with greater zeal, we call for the much-needed recognition of the importance of Cadiz and Genoa as centers of reference for the sculpture of Puebla during the eighteenth century.
