Description
Mexico, ca. late 19th century CE. Finely painted tin retablo depicting Santa Eduviges, also known as Saint Hedwig or Saint Eduwiges. Santa Eduviges, one of the most obscure subjects in retablo art, is patroness saint of Bavaria, brides, jealousy and difficult marriages. She was known mostly for her generosity, bestowing all that she could give to the sick, the feeble, the impoverished and the imprisoned. It was this bountiful quality of gift for which she was most commonly recognized. Shown praying with a Cristo and candles on her nightstand she is quite serene. Size: 10" x 14".
