EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Santo, 1936" by Maude Valle, is a vibrant and intricately detailed retablo (altarpiece) created during the 1930s in the United States. The piece, which measures an impressive 18.5 x 12 inches, is a testament to Valle's exceptional artistic skills, as she masterfully employed watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard to bring this image to life. The subject of the artwork is a revered Roman Catholic saint, depicted in traditional attire and surrounded by an array of symbols and decorative elements that reflect the rich heritage of Catholicism in America during the 20th century. The warm, earthy tones of the wooden background, combined with the bold, bright colors of the saint's robes and the intricate details of the surrounding symbols, create a striking visual contrast that draws the viewer in. Retablos, such as this one, were commonly used in Catholic homes and churches as a form of devotional art. They served as a visual representation of the saints and their stories, providing a connection to the faith and a source of inspiration and comfort. This particular retablo, with its exquisite design and intricate details, would have been a cherished possession for a devoted Catholic family during the 1930s and 1940s. Today, "Santo, 1936" is an invaluable addition to the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is preserved and showcased as an important piece of American heritage art from the Index of American Design. This artwork not only showcases the artistic talents of Maude Valle but also provides a glimpse into the religious and cultural traditions of a bygone era in American history.
