- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, 1935. A wonderful ex-voto depicting the Archangel Gabriel at the upper left, a lady named Vicenta Rosales bowing and presenting a bouquet of flowers to give thanks to the Archangel Gabriel who appears aloft in the skies above - for miraculously curing her grandfather, the white-haired gentleman seated on a rock wall at the center of the farmland, of an illness that seemed to have no remedy. This is narrated in the inscription below which is dated to 1935. A lovely example, the individuals are depicted in an agrarian setting with a barn, cow and her nursing calf, trees, agave cactus, and flowering foliage. A silky rope is threaded through two perforations at the top for suspension but may easily be removed if desired. Size: 10.375" W x 9.125" H (26.4 cm x 23.2 cm)
Ex-votos are little story paintings indicative of healing or blessing popular in Mexican visual culture. 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 home in order to celebrate and give thanks for the recovery of an individual from an illness or dangerous situation. Hence, ex-votos represent the spiritual or physical gains received. 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 difficult to translate. Nevertheless, if one is familiar with the Spanish language, you will likely get the gist of these anecdotal paintings.
