    Yes, Diego Riviera's mural 'Sunday in the Alamada' showed historian Ignacio Ramirez holding that book. When Archbishop Martinez refused to bless the hotel, an anonymous priest quietly stepped in to do the deed.

    Born not far from an aqueous city, this artist is perhaps best known for his portrait of a famous man's notorious sister, depicted in the guise of a goddess.
