Mexican Ex Voto to Holy Virgin de San Juan, 1945

Item Details

Description

Latin America, Mexico, ca. 1945. Hand-painted on heavy gauge tin in a vibrant color palette, this ex-voto depicts a veiled woman holding a candle and kneeling in prayer to the Holy Virgin of San Juan who appears to the left - crowned and dressed in robes of blue, gold, and white - standing upon a crescent moon pedestal atop clouds to signify the celestial realm and with golden rays emanating from her presence. The text gives thanks to the Virgin of San Juan for miraculously curing the son of Catalina Silva and is dated June 18, 1945 on the lower left. Size: 9.5" W x 6.125" H (24.1 cm x 15.6 cm)

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.
