- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, ca. mid to late 19th century CE. A tender rendition of N.S. Refugio de Pecadores - Our Lady, Refuge of Sinners - painted on heavy gauge tin in vibrant hues and set in a gilded frame behind glass. In 1719, a Jesuit missionary brought a version of a painting originally created for an altar formerly at Frascati, Italy, in the style of Guido or Salvator Rosa, to the city of Zacatecas in Mexico. The painting inspired the locals to adopt N.S., Refugio de Pecadores as their patron, and the composition of this retablo was modeled upon that painting. 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 Rosa's tenets. Size: retablo measures ~ 14" L x 10" W (35.6 cm x 25.4 cm); 16.5" L x 12.25" W (41.9 cm x 31.1 cm) framed
Provenance: private Honolulu, Hawaii, USA collection
