SynopsisNineteenth-century Mexico was a period of unprecedented political turmoil. One result of this instability was that many religious practices moved from the church to the home, and the retablo art form--sacred paintings on tin--flourished. With over 1,700 objects, New Mexico State University holds the largest collection of retablos of any museum in the United States. Eleven eminent Latin Americanists from the U.S. and Mexico have studied this collection and placed it in a broad cultural context. They have looked at the retablos from the standpoint of art history, history, anthropology, folk art, and religion to bring a new understanding of and appreciation for these paintings. This interdisciplinary approach brings together multiple influences in considering, for example, Baroque images as popular icons, Aztec gods and home altars, popular images in nineteenth-century Mexico, European and viceregal paintings, and bultos and santos from New Mexico. The richly varied retablo tradition continues to the present, making this volume a much-needed addition to the literature on the complex society that formed along the Camino Real between Mexico City and Santa Fe. In addition to the essays, the book includes restoration philosophy and conservation methods, a glossary, chronology, maps, and a comprehensive section on the art and iconography of each object in the Art Gallery collection., Studies retablos, sacred paintings on tin, from the standpoint of art history, history, anthropology, folk art, and religion to bring a new understanding and appreciation.

Beautiful Book
The book is a wonderful collection of art presented in two parts: first academic research followed by the art collection. It has beautiful images from the exhibit and provides the context for the retablos in the New World. I enjoyed reading about the history of the works and it was wonderful to travel to the past to see the imagery.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The BEST book on Retablo
I own multiple books on the subject of retablo icons and this is the best and most informative (and accurate) book on the subject I own. Some other references have some material errors that were poorly researched. More quality references are needed but if you don't have this one you are doing yourself an injustice. Recommended to all.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
