EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Santo, 1936" by Maude Valle, is a vibrant and intricately detailed retablo, or altarpiece, from the 20th century, specifically the 1930s and 1940s. The piece, which measures an impressive height and width, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of America during this period. The retablo, created using watercolor, colored pencil, graphite, and heightening on paperboard, showcases a robust, male figure of a saint, likely Roman Catholic, with a multicolored robe and a serene expression. The saint is depicted holding a crucifix in one hand and a book in the other, symbolizing the teachings of Christianity. The background is adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns, adding to the decorative arts and design elements of the piece. The altarpiece, which could have once been a cherished possession in a Catholic home or church, is a reflection of the deep-rooted religious traditions in the United States during the thirties and forties. The use of bright colors and intricate details in the artwork is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity of the artist, Maude Valle. The "Santo, 1936" retablo is now a valuable addition to the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is preserved and showcased for the appreciation of art lovers and history enthusiasts. The piece serves as an important reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of America during the 20th century.
