Retablos: Imagen de arte popular religioso

May 28–July 16, 1994

This exhibition of Mexican retablos featured selections from the permanent collection of The Mexican Museum, San Fran­cisco. This collection of exvotos, small votive paintings on tin-plated metal, and retablos, small saint paintings, reflects the historic fusion of the Old and New Worlds that comprised the heritage of Mexico’s Colonial period (1521–1810). The exhibi­tion also included retablos from private San Diego Collections.
