The Retablo ("behind the altar"), a small devotional painting, was introduced to Indian converts to Catholicism by the Spanish. A saint's likeness might have been painted on wood, tin, copper, or zinc: in the isolated colonial outpost of Santa Fe, wood was the most readily available substance. The little painting would form part of a believer's personal shrine. The charming retablos reproduced in this set are accompanied by bilingual captions and notes on the subject saints' feast days and subjects of patronage.
