Mission de Xavier del Bac

Additional Information

Although firmly linked to Roswell, New Mexico, where he spent the majority of his life, Peter Hurd also had a fascination with Arizona, particularly the southern portion of the desert state. The artist, who studied under N.C. Wyeth and married his daughter, Henriette, would later produce work for Arizona Highways and other publications. The San Xavier del Bac Mission is located in Tucson. It was founded in 1692, though construction wasn’t completed until 1783. Today it is the oldest intact European structure in the state, and is still operating as a Catholic mission.
