- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, ca. 1935. Hand-painted on heavy gauge tin in a vibrant color palette and set in a nice frame, this ex-voto depicts a group of villagers, likely the family and friends - including a boy and his dog - of an individual by the name of Montanes who was spared his life during a struggle with his enemy. The text below generally translates, " The present ex-voto is dedicated to the Holy Virgin of San Juan de los Lagos for the miracle of liberating me from a terrible enemy during the month of February in 1934. As an act of gratitude I dedicate … Montanes San Luis Potosi, SLP." Size: 14.75" W x 12.5" H (37.5 cm x 31.8 cm); 18.125" W x 15.875" H (46 cm x 40.3 cm) framed
Ex-votos are narrative paintings indicative of healing or blessing. This tradition was inspired by the Greeks and was brought to the New World by the Spaniards. These votive paintings were hung in a church or placed adjacent to an image in order to celebrate and give thanks for the recovery of the donor from an illness or dangerous situation. In essence, ex-votos represent the spiritual or physical gains received by the donor. These paintings include hand painted passages that relate the details of the cure or the rescue. Typically, however, this commentary is replete with regional dialect and somewhat tricky to translate. Nevertheless, if one is familiar with the Spanish language, it is possible to understand the narratives told by these anecdotal paintings.
Provenance: ex-Bill Bishop collection, Scottsdale, Arizona, acquired before 1990

#152303Perforations at upper left and upper right corners. Expected surface wear with scuffs and some darkening commensurate with age. Inscription is legible for the most part (including the year 1934), though some phrases in the last line are a bit difficult to decipher. Framing is very complementary and was done later than the ex-voto.Condition
