6.5" W x 11.25" T Antique collectible Retablo depicting St. Francis. Icons like these were placed above household altars to venerate the saints {retablo means "behind the altar."} The main function of displaying retablos is the belief that a saint or deity would intervene in the life of the devotee, bringing good health, prosperity and protection against life’s ills. Retablo artists were trained by local masters, the practice handed down through generations.
