Marcos Zapata, also known as Marcos Sapaca Inca, was a Peruvian painter and one of the last members of the Cuzco School, an art center in which Spanish painters taught native students to paint religious works.
Zapata's painting "Our Lady of Guápulo" is a masterpiece of the Cuzco School, showcasing the unique blend of Christian symbols and indigenous Andean traditions. The richly dressed and adorned sculpture depicted in this work originated as a copy of the Spanish Virgin of Guadalupe, commissioned in 1584 by a confraternity of merchants in Quito (Ecuador). Named for the sanctuary in nearby Guápulo where the miracle-working image was venerated, it was invoked by devotees who sought the Virgin Mary’s aid and protection.

The Virgin Mary is depicted in a richly decorated dress, adorned with gold and precious stones, symbolizing her divine status. The background features a landscape with mountains and a river, representing the Andean culture of Peru.
