- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, ca. 19th century. A beautifully painted Mexican retablo depicting the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost dressed in flowing white robes with two angelic seraphim at the upper corners of the composition and several others floating below the feet of the Trinity, all enveloped in holy light. Interestingly, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are depicted as three identical personages in accordance with Byzantine tradition, distinguished only by the symbols on their breasts. The Father with a sun and holding a scepter at the center; the Son at his right with a lamb; the Holy Ghost at his left with a dove. Size: 10" L x 7" W (25.4 cm x 17.8 cm); 17.625" L x 14.625" W (44.8 cm x 37.1 cm) framed
All three have brilliant golden triangular halos, a form that first appeared in the Renaissance, behind their heads, adding an unusual touch. Their feet rest upon a blue terrestrial orb symbolizing a globe with human figures, perhaps signifying their dominion over the universe. The retablo is set in an attractive wooden frame with a "mosaic-like" interior trim.
Provenance: ex House of Ancestors collection; ex private Galisteo New Mexico collection
