Description: Fun Facts: Retablo paintings got their name from the Latin term retro-tabula, meaning 'behind the altar', which originally referred to the large paintings that were displayed behind the alter in churches. Later, smaller works, painted mostly by anonymous artists, were made for display in homes, and the unique folk art form flourished in rural areas of Mexico during the nineteenth century. This Retablo, painted on tin, is of El Nino de Atocha, the patron Saint of Pilgrims & Prisoners. It measures 10"x7" and does not have a frame. Exact age is unknown. Painting has been in the family for more than 25 years. The hues and colors in the actual painting are somewhat darker than they appear in the photos. There is significant wear consistent with age: the corners are bent and one corner is cut at an angle (see photo details). There is also some rust, and there are holes at some edges from hanging.
