information from the Barnes Foundation catalog
description: <p>Painted in New Mexico, this small religious scene, or retablo, was meant for private devotion in a chapel or home. Retablos typically depict saints, angels, or, as here, the Virgin Mary. Holding the Christ Child, the Virgin wears a large cloak that envelops both figures, underscoring her role as protector. The New Mexican painters who specialized in these subjects were called <em>santeros</em>. To develop their iconographies, <em>santeros</em> looked to a variety of printed materials, including woodcuts, pamphlets, and illustrated Bibles.</p>
