Work
His work belongs to the last period of the Mexican baroque, and integrates histrionic resources and brands his artistic personality with the colors in his palette, especially diverse shades of blue, which turned into an identifier of the pictures that came out of his workshop. He was a teacher at the Academy of San Carlos, and belonged to the group of the Academy of Painting in 1754.
The recorded working language is Spanish. Works named in the authority record are Glorification of the Immaculate Conception. Work by Francisco Antonio Vallejo is recorded in the collections of Museo Nacional de Arte, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Museo Soumaya and National Gallery of Ireland.
