Our Lady of the Serpent Sergio N Lalli

This monograph succinctly covers the forensic origins of the enchanting Lady of Guadalupe legend of Mexico. It identifies the painter who drew the original image of Our Lady; names the writer who first told the miracle story; and, for the first time, reveals the person who paid the painter. The miracle story and the painting were an all-Mexican affair, as was the patron of the arts. Also, the painting holds a secret of great cosmological importance, a symbol that stares us in the eye.
