EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Santo, 1936," is a stunning creation by American artist Maude Valle. The piece, which dates back to the 1930s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century. The altarpiece, painted in watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paper, is mounted on a wooden panel, giving it a rustic and authentic feel. The multi-colored and intricately detailed design showcases the Infant Jesus and Santa Maria, with Jesus tenderly holding a cross and Mary gazing down at him with a loving expression. The use of vibrant colors and decorative elements adds to the overall beauty and allure of the piece. The artwork reflects the deep-rooted Catholicism that was prevalent in America during the 1930s and 1940s. The Roman Catholic Church played a significant role in shaping American culture, and religious art, such as this retablo, was a popular form of artistic expression. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this precious piece in its collection, which is an essential addition to the Index of American Design. The gallery's visitors can marvel at the intricate details and the rich history that this artwork represents. The altarpiece is a period item that not only showcases the artistic talent of Maude Valle but also provides a glimpse into the religious and cultural practices of the time. The piece is a reminder of the importance of preserving our artistic heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
