Attributed to Luis Juárez (Mexico, circa 1585 - 1639)."The Annunciation with Saint Jerome and Saint Francis of Assisi"Nun’s badge. Oil on copper. 13 x 10,5 cm.The LACMA in Los Angeles, has a nun’s badge in its collection by the Mexican painter Francisco Martínez (Mexico, 1687-1758) dated circa 1750, with the central theme of The Annunciation surrounded by Saints. (Inv. M.2015.142.1)As Professor Ilona Katzew, Curator and Head of the Latin American Art Department at the LACMA in Los Angeles, notes with respect to these nun’s shields:"This small-scale painting is a badge worn by nuns of the Order of the Immaculate Conception (also known as Conceptionists) in Mexico as part of their dress. Painted badges originated in Mexico in response to religious reforms introduced by the archbishop Francisco Manso y Zúñiga (ruled 1629-1635), who attempted to curtail the luxury and privilege of the convent lifestyle. He forbade nuns to wear shields made of gold, precious stones, and enamel. The nuns circumvented this rule by commissioning shields painted on copper or parchment, and set into frames made of tortoiseshell. Many of the badges were painted by the best artists of the day."This genre of devotional art was widespread during the 17th and 18th centuries in Spain and the New Hispanic world.They tended to be small pictures painted or embroidered with religious scenes, which nuns wore on their chests as they took their vows.It is in the classic portraits of crowned nuns, also with flowers, veils and other ornaments, where we can see the relevance these badges had.On occasions, artists of the calibre of José de Páez, Miguel Cabrera and Luís Juárez, who was, it seems to us, the painter of this shield, made some of these badges.
