Title: Painting the Divine
Description: "In Painting the Divine: Images of Mary in the New World, we selected approximately forty-five works from the two principal viceroyalities of the Spanish empire - Mexico and Peru - that portray key evens and moments in the life of Mary, as well as examples of various apparitions. We also highlight pieces produced by New Mexican artists who developed hybrid styles distinctly their own, combining traditional Christian symbols with unique regional aesthetics. ." -- p. 7
