Querétaro, officially the Free and Sovereign State of Querétaro, is one of the 32 federal entities of Mexico. It is divided into 18 municipalities. Its capital city is Santiago de Querétaro. It is located in north-central Mexico, in a region known as Bajío. It is bordered by the states of San Luis Potosí to the north, Guanajuato to the west, Hidalgo to the east, México to the southeast and Michoacán to the southwest. The state is one of the smallest in Mexico, but also one of the most heterogeneous geographically, with ecosystems varying from deserts to tropical rainforest, especially in the Sierra Gorda, which is filled with microecosystems. The area of the state was located on the northern edge of Mesoamerica, with both the Purépecha Empire and Aztec Empire having influence in the extreme south, but neither really dominating it. The area, especially the Sierra Gorda, had a number of small city-states, but by the time the Spanish arrived, the area was independent from imperial powers. Small agricultural villages and seminomadic peoples lived in the area.

Arteaga y Alfaro, Matias

Matías de Arteaga y Alfaro, also Matias de Arteaga, (c. 1630–1704) was a Spanish painter and engraver. Arteaga was born in Seville about 1630, the son of the engraver Bartolomé Arteaga. He studied painting under Valdés Leal. His paintings are mostly of the Virgin Mary, with architectural backgrounds. They include two altarpieces in the conventual church of San Pablo. He made engravings after various works by Valdés and Francisco Herrera the Younger, and one of St. Dominick after a drawing by Alonso Cano; also a St. Ferdinand by Murillo, for La Torre Farfan's account of the Seville festival in honour of St. Ferdinand; for which he likewise engraved views of the Giralda tower of Seville, and of the interior and exterior of cathedral. He also executed a series of fifty-eight plates for the History of St. Juan de la Cruz, the first barefooted Carmelite. He engraved a plate of the arms of the family of Arze for a book dedicated to a member of the house, in 1695. His works are usually signed with his name in full, or in an abbreviated form. He died at Seville in 1704.
