About the piece

Painted in 1859 by artist Luis Coto, this sweeping canvas documents a pivotal moment in Mexican history, juxtaposing the enduring spiritual landmark of the Collegiate Church of Guadalupe with the technological progress of the steam age. The composition is alive with human activity, showing diverse figures gathered in the sun-drenched valley, rendered with the luminous clarity characteristic of mid-century academic painting.
