Description
In 1596, the port of Cádiz suffered the attack of an Anglo-Dutch fleet. In the sack of the city, the English desecrated an image of the Virgin, hacking off both of Our Lady’s arms with their sabres and slashing her face. The English seminarians brought her to Valladolid, to repair the evil done by her countrymen with their veneration, and thus began the cult of the image and miracles of the Virgin Vulnerata. In this print, she appears dressed in a mantle that hides the disfigurements. It was probably a cheap print destined to finance repairs at St Alban's church. People probably bught and put them up at home.
