Horizons (Spanish: Horizontes) is a painting by Francisco Antonio Cano Cardona.[1] Horizons shows the idealized migrant family and it portrays a colono family –consisting of a husband, wife, and child– sitting on a bluff, surrounded by mountains. The three members of the family are often referred as a version of the Holy family, with the woman dressed in colors like the Virgin Mary, with a baby on her lap.[2] The gaze of the wife, child, and father are in the direction of the man's outstretched hand, which evokes Michelangelo's Creation of Adam, and that points toward an unseen horizon.[2]
