The Virgin of Guadalupe, Mexican School (c. 1700): The Image, the Roses and the Four Apparitions
She stands on a crescent moon held up by an angel, her hands joined in prayer, her head bowed, wrapped in a blue-green mantle scattered with gold stars. Behind her, a full body of golden rays bursts out like a flame. In the four corners, small scenes tell how this image appeared. This is the Virgin of Guadalupe, painted in New Spain around 1700 by an anonymous artist of the Mexican school: a copy of one of the most venerated images in the Americas, made to carry a miracle far from Mexico City. Here we look at it in a new frame as well: a vintage poster with a border of roses and white lilies.
