Mexican Tin Retablo of Guadalupe, 19th Century

Mexico

Tin, Paint | Item 2629

This is a highly refined and beautifully executed painting of Guadalupe on tin. Notice the detailed work in the stories told in each corner: the work here is as fine as I’ve ever seen on a tin retablo. I don’t know enough to tell you what these stories are, but each painting is of a specific scene.Minor paint loss, minimal bending at corners.
