Every year, the Spanish Christmas Lottery creates a very
special template for the tickets. To honor Spain’s vast
cultural heritage, Loteria de Navidad tickets include a digital print of the
greatest paintings in Spanish history.
On Loteria de Navidad's 2023 tickets, you could appreciate the famous painting "La Natividad". It was created around 1470 by Master of Sopetrán, an anonymous Hispano-Flemish artist. The artist owes its name to the four tables of an altarpiece from the Benedictine monastery of Santa María de Sopetrán (Guadalajara).
On 2022's tickets, you could admire "La Virgen con el Niño en la Gloria" (The Virgin and Child in Glory). It is attributed to Carlo Maratta and is a true masterpiece of its time (Ca. 1680). Carlo Maratti was the most important painter in Roman art circles during the second half of the seventeenth century. His work was commissioned by popes and influential aristocratic families.
On the 2021 tickets you could see a print of "The Virgin of the Pomegranate", by the internationally renowned Fra Angelico. This painting was acquired by the Museo del Prado in 2016, and
was said to be in an excellent state of conservation. The Virgin of the
Pomegranate is part of a series of Virgin & Child compositions painted in the 1420's by Fra Angelico. It truly reveals the mastery of anatomy, light and space of this amazing artist.
