EDITORS COMMENTS
"The Divine Shepherdess (La divina pastora), c. 1760, is a captivating oil painting on copper that showcases the artistic brilliance of Miguel Cabrera. This exquisite artwork, housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, transports viewers to a realm where legend and devotion intertwine. According to ancient lore, the Virgin Mary appeared as a humble shepherdess to Isidore of Seville, an esteemed Capuchin monk. Inspired by this divine encounter, Isidore commissioned Cabrera to immortalize the vision through his brushstrokes. The painting depicts the Virgin seated gracefully on a rock adorned in a vibrant red gown and blue mantle while donning a hat. In her hands, she lovingly feeds roses to her flock of sheep. The intricate tortoiseshell and bone frame surrounding this masterpiece adds an extra layer of elegance and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of its religious significance - it represents Christian faith and devotion within Spanish colonial society. Cabrera's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the delicate crown atop Mary's head to the cherubs or putti floating above her with adoration. This piece not only captures our imagination but also serves as a poignant symbol of motherly love and spiritual guidance. 'The Divine Shepherdess' stands as an enduring testament to Mexico's rich cultural heritage during New Spain era – blending elements from biblical narratives with indigenous traditions seamlessly".
