A radiant depiction of the Virgin Mary, framed by the quiet beauty of a peaceful village landscape. Our Lady of Silence is a limited-edition decorative collector plate featuring artwork by Hector Garrido, issued by The Bradford Exchange in 1995 as the eleventh issue in the Visions of Our Lady collection.
Our Lady of Silence — Hector Garrido
Mary stands with her arms extended in a gesture of welcome, wearing a flowing pale blue-gray gown and golden mantle beneath a delicate crown. A small church and village buildings appear across a serene landscape, while soft clouds, blue-green tones, and an intricate gold-tone border frame the oval composition. Garrido's initials appear on the front.
The softly illuminated area surrounding Mary has an especially striking, almost glowing appearance when viewed under certain lighting. This describes the luminous effect of the printed artwork and glossy finish; it is not a claim that the plate glows in the dark.
Religious Art and Symbolism
The image evokes the stillness, contemplation, and prayer traditionally associated with Marian devotion. The open-handed pose and radiant background offer a gentle expression of peace and reassurance. The reverse carries a printed devotional text headed Queen of Heaven, connecting this collectible to Catholic sacred art and prayer.
