VON WOBESER, Gisela. Iconographic Precursors of the Image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.107, pp.173-227. ISSN 0185-1276. https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2015.107.2558.
The image of the Virgin of Guadalupe conforms to a German-Flemish iconographic model dating from the Middle Ages representing a Virgin crowned, surrounded by a luminous mandorla and standing upon a half-moon. Several engravings corresponding to this model (from between 1400 and 1530) present formal similarities to this image. One of them, the Virgin in Glory, dated around 1420, bears a notable resemblance to the Guadalupana in the outlines, body posture, proportions, facial features and vestments, so that it may have been the source used by the indigenous painter who executed the work. The variations between both images are probably due to the adaptation required by the image's, sender and recpient.
