Madre SuperioraFernando Botero
This painting (1996) portrays a corpulent nun in a white habit, holding a rosary with solemn dignity. A classic example of Botero’s Boterismo, the figure’s exaggerated form adds both humor and reverence. With quiet irony, Botero captures the tension between spiritual authority and human vulnerability, reflecting Colombian life through his unique visual language.
