"La Madre Santísima de la Luz" is an oil painting by the Spanish artist José de Páez, often mistakenly attributed to José de Priego due to similarities in their names. Created in the late 18th century, specifically in 1789, this work is a prime example of New Spanish religious art, reflecting the Baroque style that was prevalent in ecclesiastical art of the period. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary in an aura of divine light, an iconography that is associated with the title "Madre Santísima de la Luz" or "Most Holy Mother of Light."

José de Páez, born in 1720 in Andalusia, Spain, and later active in Mexico, was a prolific painter known for his religious compositions, portraits, and landscapes. His work is characterized by the use of dramatic lighting, rich colors, and detailed textures, which are all evident in "La Madre Santísima de la Luz." The painting is considered an important piece of the Mexican colonial art canon and serves as a testament to the cultural and artistic exchanges between Europe and the Americas during the colonial period.

The painting's composition centers on the Virgin Mary, who is often portrayed as an intercessor between the divine and the earthly realms. Her serene expression and the presence of light not only underscore her purity and divinity but also serve to elevate the spiritual experience of the viewer. The work is emblematic of the intense spirituality and the veneration of the Virgin Mary that were integral to the religious life in New Spain (colonial Mexico).

"La Madre Santísima de la Luz" has been venerated in various religious settings and has played a role in popular devotion. Its influence extends beyond the realm of art, as it has been used in religious ceremonies and processions, demonstrating the intersection of art, faith, and daily life in New Spanish society.

The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is often studied for its artistic merit and its role in the religious and cultural history of Mexico. It is a valuable piece for understanding the development of religious iconography in the New World and the ways in which European artistic traditions were adapted to the local context.
