History
  • The usage of retablos dates back to the colonial period, brought to Mexico by Spanish colonizers, illustrating the blend of European and indigenous artistic traditions.
  • By the 1800s, painted tin retablos emerged as accessible religious art, allowing lower-income individuals to possess images of saints and religious figures.
  • Retablos often served a dual purpose, both as objects of veneration and as artistic expressions, reflecting the cultural and spiritual landscape of the time.
