Authentic Mexican Retablo (oil on tin painting) featuring the Virgen de los Remedios. Alternate names are Nuestra Senora de los Remedios and Our Lady of Los Remedios. This is the Virgin that the Mexican central government used as its patron instead of the Virgen de Guadalupe, who is more widely-recognized today. At the time, however, the central forces were devoted to the Virgen de los Remedios while the revolutionary forces to the Virgen de Guadalupe. So Virgen de los Remedios is associated with not only central geographical Mexico but also central political Mexico. The piece itself is finely painted with the utmost detail. It features vibrant turquoise, gold, and dark orange colors. Has been professionally mounted and framed on acid-free board with a beautiful linen backing (see pictures of back). Has also been professionally stored and authenticated. Approximately 8×11 alone and 11″ x 13″ framed. History: Retablos are a type of folk art that features traditional religious beliefs from the Mexican culture. Devotional retablos of holy images were painted on sheets of tin and displayed in family altars. Antique pieces are not flawless, which is precisely what makes them unique and gives each piece its own charm. Please review detailed images and information above.
