Segunda parte del triste y muy doloroso llanto fúnebre (Second Part of the Sad and Very Painful Funeral Cry) n.d.

"Segunda parte del triste y muy doloroso llanto fúnebre" or "Second Part of the Sad and Very Painful Funeral Cry" was created by Manuel Manilla, a Mexican artist active in the late 19th century. This print reflects the cultural milieu of the time, where the visual arts were intertwined with daily life, religious beliefs, and social customs. Manilla's work, often characterized by its raw emotionality, delves into themes of loss, grief, and remembrance. Here, the artist poignantly captures the depths of sorrow experienced in the face of death, resonating with viewers on a deeply human level. The verses accompanying the image speak of inconsolable pain and the void left by a mother's passing. Manilla does not maintain traditional representations; instead, he develops alternative narratives by bringing popular culture and religious themes together. Manilla's art offers a glimpse into the collective consciousness of a society grappling with mortality and the complexities of human relationships. The personal lament transforms into a universal expression of mourning.
