Rafael Coronel

Rafael Coronel (24 October 1931 – 7 May 2019) was a Mexican painter. He was the son-in-law of Diego Rivera.

His representational paintings have a melancholic sobriety, and include faces from the past great masters, often floating in a diffuse haze. In what was the convent of San Francisco de Almoloyan y de Asís (a building from the 16th century), located in Zacatecas, there is a museum named after him; in this museum, his vast mask collection is shown.
