Description
Latin America, Mexico, ca. 19th century CE. Finely painted on heavy gauge tin, a Mexican retablo of the Holy Family. The Sacred Family (La Sagrada Familia) is depicted with Jesus as a young boy walking between his parents who sweetly gaze upon him. Mary is dressed in her traditional red gown with blue mantle; the Child is dressed in white with a blue ribbon tied around his waist; Joseph dons his colors of green and yellow, and is carrying a blossoming staff. The Parents grasp the Child's arms on either side, and His outstretched arms subtly foreshadow the Crucifixion. A delicate dove in the azure skies hovers directly above the Child and radiates light toward Him. A beautiful, balanced composition depicting a traditional and iconographically rich depiction of La Sagrada Familia. Size: 9.75" L x 6.875" W (24.8 cm x 17.5 cm)
