About this Item
Surrounded by flowers, the Virgin of Guadalupe is queen of the heavens. She first appeared in Mexico in 1531 and, as proof of her visit, caused roses to bloom at the site. Named Patron Saint of the Americas by Pope John Paul II, she is a beloved manifestation of the Catholic faith. Alejandro Chávez recreates the portrait that appeared miraculously on the tilma (cactus fiber cloak) of Saint Juan Diego in 1531. He creates the image in a traditional diorama known as a retablo; each figurine is modeled and painted by hand.

The Virgin Mary retablo is more beautiful than the foto on the webpage! It is an honor to bring her into my home. Thank you for sharing your art with the world.

“Very colorful”
My only complaint is that the features painted on Our Ladys face are just rushed and look masculine. The cherubs facial features look angry, not angelic. Im an artist, so I can fix it, but I shouldnt have to. Otherwise, I like it.
