- Lot Description
Latin America, Mexico, mid 20th century. Hand-painted on heavy gauge tin in a vibrant color palette and set in a nice frame, this ex-voto depicts a scene described by the text which generally translates, "Mr. Pedro Sanchez gives thanks to the Holy Virgin of San Juan de los Lagos (of the Lakes) for the miracle of saving me and my family from death when we were thrown from our car during a rollover when traveling." Below this text we see the Volkswagen bug upside down with three figures tossed on the grass. Above and to the left is the Virgin of San Juan de los Lagos (of the lakes) with a pair of angels holding a golden ribbon above her. Size: 11.125" W x 6.875" H (28.3 cm x 17.5 cm); 15" W x 10" H (38.1 cm x 25.4 cm) in frame
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: The Estates of Olen Bryant and late Vanderbilt University art professor Thomas Brumbaugh, Clarksville/Cottontown, Tennessee
