@lacma: Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of the most reproduced images of the Christian world. This striking version is encrusted with small sheets of mother-of-pearl (concha de perla), known as enconchados. The application of this material, which endows paintings with a unique glow, references a range of Asian decorative arts that flowed through various trade networks. Currently on view in our David Geffen Galleries | visit the 🔗 in bio to learn more #lacma #museumtok
