About the Item
A beautiful 19th-century Spanish Colonial Mexican Folk Art ex-voto retablo lámina painting featuring Santo Niño de Atocha (also known as - Holy Infant of Atocha, Santo Niño de Atocha, Holy Child of Atocha, Saint Child of Atocha, or Wise Child of Atocha). This particular Saint dates back to the 13th century. The Roman Catholic image of the Christ Child is quite popular among the Hispanic cultures of Spain, Latin America, and parts of the Southwestern United States. The saint is often characterized by a basket he carries, along with a pilgrim's staff and drinking gourd (He used the gourd to carry water, and the basket to carry bread which he fed to prisoners who were thirsty and hungry). The Saint is revered by travelers for his protection from danger and by those who find themselves unjustly imprisoned
The work is hand-painted on metal (likely tin). Ex-votos and retablos are often placed above the altars in churches or family shrines as votive offerings made in the form of religious pictures/images typically portraying Christ and/or the Christian saints.
A fantastic and gorgeous piece. Would make for a great addition to any Mexican Folk Art collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting.
The work has been previously framed with a beautiful, ornate carved wood frame and is ready to display.
The piece is from a prominent California collection.
A small card with images of the saint is also included.
Frame dimensions: 20" high, 16" wide, 1.5" deep
