Miguel Cabrera, a leading artist of the Mexican Baroque period, painted "Allegory of the Virgin Patroness of the Dominicans" likely in the 18th century. The painting is on display at the Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL) in Mexico City, Mexico, and depicts the Virgin Mary as a patron saint of the Dominican order. The scene is filled with figures, including angels, Dominican friars, and Christ, creating a dynamic and layered composition typical of Baroque art. The use of light and color adds to the dramatic effect, and the details of the clothing and other elements contribute to the overall sense of opulence and devotion.
