Antique Mexican Retablo Saint Jerome Religious Painting on Tin 1800s. The velvet matting is not great. I tried to clean it gently with no results. The painting on tin looks to be in good condition. This piece came from an estate in Norfolk, VA. From the Museam of Big Ben. Saint Jerome during a serious illness received a vision in which Christ judged him. Deeply affected, he retreated to the wilderness for four years and while in the desert, undergoing austere penance, he studied Hebrew. He moved to Antioch in 385 and while there, translated the Old Testament from Hebrew into Latin. Considered to be one of the four great doctors of the Church, Saint Jerome is always depicted in retablo art as a hermit in the wilderness. Accompanying him are the symbols of penance and contemplation: the scourge, skull and crucifix. He is often shown with a wounded chest, due to his beating his chest with a rock while he was a hermit, symbolizing his rejection of temptations of the flesh. He is dressed in a red robe, symbolizing the misunderstanding of being known as a cardinal for his services for Pope Saint Damascus. In addition, a horn is seen in an upper corner signifying the final trumpet call. In this piece he is shown with a book, testifying to his scholarship. A lion is also associated with Jerome. It is thought that the lion was transferred to him because of confusion with Saint Gerasimus. The Latin spelling of Jerome, Geronimus, was so similar to that of Saint Gerasimus that Jerome acquired from Gerasimus the lion and the tradition of removing the thorn from its paw and in turn gaining the lion’s loyalty. Saint Jerome is sought out for protection against temptation and want. He is the patron saint of scholars, philosophers and librarians. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”.

This is a profound and spiritual Antique 18th c. Old Master Mexican Spanish Colonial Oil Painting on canvas, mounted on wood, depicting a serene and stoic female Catholic saint, possibly the Virgin Mary. The attention to detail in this painting is remarkable and reflects the mastery of early Mexican painters during the Spanish Colonial era. This work approximately dates to the mid to late 1700’s. I do not know the identity of the woman depicted, but perhaps you recognize this religious figure? This work is unsigned, but so are the majority of the masterworks that came out of this incredible artistic movement. This painting is on canvas and appears to have been mounted to wood sometime long ago. The wood mounting itself looks very old. This was likely to preserve the artwork, as canvases this old are very fragile. Good condition overall, with spots of paint loss, edge wear, and fine craquelure that is customary with almost any nearly 300-year-old painting, especially one that was for devotional use please see photos. Acquired from the contents of a deceased estate in Los Angeles, California. Approximately: 51/4 x 8 1/4 inches. Please check my other listings for more wonderful and unique artworks! What is Spanish colonial art? Spanish colonial art includes paintings, sculptures and decorative objects produced across one and a half continents, from Mexico down to South America, over a period of about 330 years. Artworks produced in Brazil during this period are referred to as Portuguese colonial art. All art and objects from this region that precede Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the New World in 1492, marking the beginning of the European conquest, are termed pre-Columbian. The Spanish colonial period ends around 1820, when Spain began to lose its grip on its colonies in the New World and independence was won by many of today’s Latin American nations. What does Spanish colonial art look like? Because of its incredibly broad scope, Spanish colonial art cannot be defined by any one particular style, subject or form. One can find a preponderance of depictions of Virgins and saints, attesting to the spread of Catholicism in the region, but often these come with a distinctly regional flavour.

This is a profound and spiritual Antique 18th c. Old Master Mexican Spanish Colonial Oil Painting on canvas, mounted on wood, depicting a serene Catholic female saint in a flowing black gown. A gilded corona of holy luminescence surrounds her head, and she is flanked by two very tall lit candles on both sides. Hanging from her body is a long chain of rosary beads, with a prominent crucifix. The attention to detail in this painting is remarkable, and reflects the mastery of early Mexican painters during the Spanish Colonial era. This work approximately dates to the mid to late 1700’s. I do not know the identity of the woman depicted, but perhaps you recognize this religious figure? This work is unsigned, but so are the majority of the masterworks that came out of this incredible artistic movement. This painting is on canvas, and appears to have been mounted to wood sometime in the last 50 years. This was likely to preserve the artwork, as canvases this old are very fragile. Good condition overall, with spots of paint loss, edge wear, and fine craquelure that is customary with almost any nearly 300 year old painting, especially one that was for devotional use.
