"La Catrina" (art piece)

"La Catrina" is a famous artwork created by Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada in the early 20th century. It features a female skeleton dressed in elegant, high-society attire, serving as a satirical symbol of mortality and social inequality. The figure highlights that death is the great equalizer, regardless of wealth or status. La Catrina has become an iconic image in Mexican culture, especially during Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), celebrating life and honoring loved ones who have passed away. Its playful yet poignant representation encourages reflection on mortality with humor and dignity.
