Catrinas

La Catrina as a popular symbol of death, was baptized as such by the muralist Diego Rivera (1886-1957), but he was not the first to include it in his works, since José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) was the forerunner of this representation .

La Catrina was initially known as "La Calavera Garbancera", for the title that Posada gave to the engraving in which a woman is represented in very fine clothing, and drawings by which the most privileged classes of Mexico were mocked. .
