EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Santo, 1936," is a vibrant and intricately detailed retablo created by American artist Maude Valle. The retablo, a traditional devotional painting on a wooden panel commonly used in Latin American and Spanish Catholicism, dates back to the 20th century and specifically the 1930s and 1940s. The multi-colored, watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard artwork depicts a saint, likely Santo Niño de Atocha or another popular Catholic figure, surrounded by an array of symbols and decorative elements. The richly hued design includes floral motifs, geometric patterns, and intricate borders, all executed with meticulous attention to detail. The retablo's wooden frame adds to its rustic charm and enhances its decorative qualities, making it a striking addition to any art center, art gallery, or heritage art collection. The piece showcases the fusion of religious and artistic traditions that characterized the period, reflecting the deep-rooted influence of Catholicism in American culture during the thirties and forties. Maude Valle's "Santo, 1936" is an essential piece of both decorative arts and religious art history, offering a glimpse into the artistic expressions and cultural practices of the time. This national treasure is currently housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
