Title: Pintores y pintura de la Maravilla Americana
Description: Curated by art historians Elisa Vargas Lugo and Pedro Ángeles (Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas-UNAM), and historian Rubén Romero (Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas-UNAM) this major exhibition is a careful selection of 76 colonial paintings created by the most noted painters of the 18th century, such as Miguel Cabrera, Francisco Antonio Vallejo, and José de Alcíbar amongst others whom were inspired in the Virgin of Guadalupe original painting, miraculously imprinted on the tilma, (peasant cloak).of the Indian Juan Diego. Many of the works are from collections of religious venues, public museums and from private collections that have been restored specially for this occasion and are exhibited in public for the first time. The exhibition was the outcome of a proposal born of the intuition of noted art historian and academic advisor, Juana Gutierrez Haces (), who undertook the reappraisal of the work and the circumstances of the painters of the generation of "American Marvel".
