Miraculous Apparition of The Virgin of Guadalupe in a Maguey c. 1890 - 1895

José Guadalupe Posada's "Miraculous Apparition of The Virgin of Guadalupe in a Maguey" depicts a scene of religious fervor. The image, rendered in Posada's signature woodcut style, shows a large maguey plant with a haloed figure emerging from its center. Four figures kneel in reverence before the apparition, signifying the power and influence of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexican culture. Created around 1890-1895, this small woodcut exemplifies Posada's ability to combine traditional Mexican imagery with a distinct artistic voice, making his work both culturally relevant and visually striking.
