"Via Crucis (Estaciones I a la XII)" is a series of artworks by the 18th-century Mexican painter José de Páez, depicting the Stations of the Cross, a devotional sequence representing Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion. The series is a significant example of colonial Mexican religious art, reflecting the intense spirituality and the artistic traditions of the period.

José de Páez, born in 1720 in Mexico City, was a prominent figure in the Mexican Baroque painting scene. He was known for his religious works, portraits, and casta paintings, which depicted the complex system of racial classification in colonial Mexico. His style is characterized by the use of vivid colors, attention to detail, and the incorporation of both European and indigenous artistic elements.

The "Via Crucis" series consists of twelve individual paintings, each representing one of the traditional Stations of the Cross, from Jesus being condemned to death to his crucifixion. These works were likely commissioned for use in religious processions or as devotional objects in a church setting. They would have served as visual aids to help the faithful meditate on the Passion of Christ during Lent and especially on Good Friday.

Each painting in the series captures a moment from the Passion narrative with emotional intensity and a deep sense of piety, which is characteristic of Páez's religious works. The use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, is evident in these paintings and serves to highlight the suffering of Christ and the solemnity of the scenes depicted.

While the exact date of creation for the "Via Crucis" series is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the mature period of Páez's career, likely in the latter half of the 18th century. The works are an important part of Mexico's artistic heritage and offer insight into the religious practices and artistic expressions of the time.

Today, the "Via Crucis" series by José de Páez is considered an important example of Mexican Baroque art and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance. The paintings are also a testament to the enduring tradition of the Stations of the Cross within Christian iconography and its adaptation within the context of New Spain.
