description: <p>Painted in New Mexico, this small religious scene, or retablo, was meant for private devotion in a chapel or home. The Virgin Mary was a common subject for retablos along with saints and angels. This retablo actually depicts a statue of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception that is said to have cured a mortally wounded child in the village of San Juan de los Lagos in Mexico. The Basilica of San Juan de los Lagos, which houses the statue, remains a pilgrimage site to this day.</p>
