Abstract

During the Porfiriato, an artistic "renaissance" took place, with numerous artists arriving to showcase their work. Newspaper companies took on the role of sponsoring these projects, with El Diario being a particularly important one. It strongly promoted the fine arts through illustrations by Carlo de Fornaro and interviews and articles by José P. Micolo. Despite its short run (1906-1908), it produced a wealth of work that deserves to be explored.
