Pedro Machuca, painter and Spanish architect of the Renaissance, received an order to make this virgin. The order came from a brotherhood of navigators, that wanted the table to place it in its private chapel. The type was a preexisting model, the call Virgen or Madona of the Suffrage. It is a stereotype that shows a Virgin who lodges in her mantle unfolded to those to those who she protects, in this case the navigators who pay the work. The technical accomplishment is very meticulous, although the gentleness was not one of the pictorial qualities of Crushes, that a somewhat rigid virgin shows. This also can be attributed to the use of an established model, that simply adapted to the order of the moment.
