The Virgin Mary gained the title Our Lady of Guadalupe after her miraculous appearance in Mexico City in 1531. This santo (image of a holy figure) emulates a venerated image of her apparition that remains enshrined in the city. The original image referred to the "woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and a crown of 12 stars" described in the biblical book of Revelation. The oval shape of this retablo is very unusual for this medium.
