Our Lady of Bethlehem (Puerto Rico)

Our Lady of Bethlehem (Spanish: La Virgen de Belén) is a Flemish-style oil painting of the Virgo Lactans, or Nursing Madonna, taken by the Dominican Order to Puerto Rico in the 16th-century, often attributed to either Rogier van der Weyden or one of his students. Various reproductions and posterior reinterpretations of the painting exist, such as the one made by José Campeche in the late 18th century, but the original copy is now lost.
