Sumario:An unpublished painting by Gonzalo Carrasco, executed in the last years of his life, offers interesting material for reflection on this painter's iconography related with the subject of the Cristero war. In this sketch he incorporated, by way of quotations, images found in other works of his own, and also in well-known works and elements of contemporary photo-journalism, placing all this at the service of a “meditation in Ignatian mode”, a sort of homily in painting. The composition of his paintings, although resisting the influences of the vanguard, showed a tendency, in the final decades of his life, to absorb elements characteristic of the illustrated press of his period, and to deploy a freer and more colorful palette than that used in his student period.
