The Prado in Madrid will be opening a new exhibition today entitled So far, so close. Guadalupe of Mexico in Spain.
According to their website:
So far, so close: Guadalupe, Mexico, in Spain offers a new perspective on the role of the Virgin of Guadalupe as a miraculously created image, an object of worship and symbol of identity in the Hispanic world. Through nearly 70 works, including paintings, prints, sculptures and books, the exhibition shows how this manifestation of the Virgin, which first appeared on the Cerro del Tepeyac or Tepeyac Hill in 1531, transcended the borders of New Spain to become a powerful presence in the Spanish collective imagination.
It will run until 14th September 2025.
