Well Hello Fellow Seekers!

Today we are going to look at a New Mexican Retablo by Jose Rafael Aragon, who painted between 1820 and 1840. The image is of “Our Lady of Sorrows.” The artist has represented her face so simply and delicately, with dark lines under her eyes to convey true sorrow. These early Spanish religious images were created in a time of Miracles, Mystery and Wonder. They were made by and for Believers - People of Deep Faith and Devotion - qualities certainly captured in these Retablos.

This one is for sale and measures 9.75” X 12.75”
