La Catrina was created in 1910 by Mexican Illustrator Jose Guadalupe Posada as a series of satirical lithographs of the Mexican elite wanting to be more like Europe than like Mexico. They were brought to international notoriety when famed muralist, Diego Rivera used it in his 1947 mural, “Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park."
This beautiful Catrina box is hand-painted by Gustavo Rodrigo Ramirez, a Nahuatl artesano who learned to paint from his father. The meticulous detail is evident in each brushstroke, the bright colors forming a beautiful contrast, sure to bring the right touch of color to your altar.
