Gitana Madonna Painting
In Spain, so very Catholic, there is a great and powerful love for Our Lady. During Holy Week in Seville homeage is payed to La Macarena, Our Hope. She is known to all as the most beautiful Virgin of Seville and of Spain. I painted Gitana Madaonna above.
Virgin of Macarena,
the moon's reflection
shines on your dark little face.
There is no face like your face
nor sorrow like your sorrow.
Virgen de la Macarena
reflejo de luna clara
da en tu carita morena.
No hay cara como tu cara
ni pena como tu pena.
Saeta/Traditionally sung to the Virgin Mary and Crucified Christ during Holy Week in Sevilla
