Abstract
In the early twentieth century Aureliano Urrutia, a prominent Mexican physician and politician, amassed a collection of copies of famous antique, Renaissance, and Mexican paintings and sculptures that he installed in estates in Mexico City and San Antonio, where he immigrated in 1914. Read as a whole, and examined in light of Mexico's historical relationship to copies and unidentified artists and the problem of the copy in art history generally, the Urrutia collection illuminates issues central to modern Mexican visual culture, particularly the flexible relationship between form and content and the manipulation of images and associations to construct meaning. A principios del siglo xx, Aureliano Urrutia, notable médico y político mexicano, amasó una colección de copias de famosas pinturas y esculturas antiguas, renacentistas y mexicanas que instaló en propiedades de la ciudad de México y San Antonio, lugar al que emigró en 1914. Interpretadas en su conjunto y examinadas a la luz de la relación histórica mexicana con las copias y con los artistas sin identificar, así como con el problema de la copia en la historia del arte en general, la colección Urrutia arroja luz sobre temas centrales en la cultura visual mexicana moderna, particularmente sobre la flexible relación entre la forma y el contenido y la manipulación de imágenes y asociaciones en la construcción de significado.

Abstract
This article argues that governmental modernization strategies in Mexico during the Porfiriato relied on calculated manipulations of nature. Using examples of urban gardens, public parks, and drainage works, this article explains how Porfirian scientists Joséé Yves Limantour and Miguel ÁÁngel de Quevedo tried to reformulate Mexican nature and its citizens. Rather than expelling all vestiges of nature from Mexico City, these scientists reordered and reformulated the natural world to fit their ideas about modernity. The control and display of nature marked an important strategy for a regime dedicated to order and progress. Este artíículo postula que las estrategias gubernamentales de modernizacióón en Mééxico durante el porfiriato recayeron en una calculada manipulacióón de la naturaleza. Usando ejemplos de jardines urbanos, parques púúblicos y obras de drenaje, este artíículo explica cóómo los cientííficos del porfiriato, Joséé Yves Limantour y Miguel ÁÁngel de Quevedo, trataron de reformular la naturaleza mexicana y sus ciudadanos. En vez de expulsar todos los vestigios de la naturaleza de la Ciudad de Mééxico, estos cientííficos modificaron y alteraron el mundo natural para hacerlo encajar con sus ideas sobre la modernidad. El control y exposicióón de la naturaleza marcóó una estrategia importante para un réégimen dedi-cado al orden y el progreso.
