Rafael Coronel was a Mexican painter. He was the son-in-law of Diego Rivera.
His representational paintings have a melancholic sobriety, and include faces from the past great masters, often floating in a diffuse haze.
In what was the convent of San Francisco de Almoloyan y de Asís, located in Zacatecas, there is a museum named after him; in this museum, his vast mask collection is shown.
