José María Tranquilino Francisco de Jesús Velasco Gómez Obregón (Temascalcingo, 6 July 1840 – Mexico City, 26 August 1912) was a 19th-century Mexican painter who made Mexican geography a symbol of national identity through his paintings. He was one the most popular artists of the time and received many distinctions such as the gold medal of National Expositions of Bellas Artes in 1874 and 1876, the gold medal of the Philadelphia International Exposition in 1876 and the medal of the Paris' Universal Exposition in 1889. His painting El valle de México is considered Velasco's masterpiece
