- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, ca. 19th century. Hand-painted on heavy gauge tin, a beautiful retablo tenderly representing the Virgin Mary and Christ Child, a composition that is traditionally referred to as N.S. Refugio de Pecadores (Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners). This example displays fine painting technique and a nicely balanced composition, all in a richly saturated palette. In 1719 a Jesuit missionary brought a copy of a painting originally created for an altar formerly at Frascati, Italy, in the style of Guido or Salvator Rosa, to Zacatecas, Mexico. The painting inspired the locals to adopt N.S., Refugio de Pecadores as their patron. The Virgin wears a golden crown and supports a crowned Christ Child whose nude body is covered by a transparent robe. She dons a scarf that is drawn across her right shoulder, and her dark blue cape is initialed with her ciphers. The Christ child rests his right hand on her right arm and grips her right thumb with his left hand. It is a touching scene, and this rendition clearly follows the tenets for its correct representation. Size: 14" L x 10" W (35.6 cm x 25.4 cm)
