On March 2, the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, MA, opened an exhibition titled “Icons & Retablos: Images of Devotion.” Created in collaboration with the University Art Museum at New Mexico State University (NMSU), it features an amazing selection of Orthodox and Mexican religious art. What might seem like a surprising combination is actually an incredibly thoughtful and informative project that highlights the stylistic and ideological similarities between Orthodox icons and Mexican retablos. “Icons & Retablos: Images of Devotion” is on view at the Museum of Russian Icons through August 27, 2023.

Featured image: Our Lord of Sacromonte and Our Lady of Sorrows, Señor del Sacromonte y Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, Mexico, 19th century, Oil on tin, NMSU Permanent Art Collection, Donated by Gloria Giffords and the Giffords Family.

The Harwood Museum of Art in Taos NM, needs to do some fact checking. The latest display of "Unknown" retablos erases our heritage. Thanks to artist Brandon Maldonado Vallejos for bringing this to light and creating change for the better.

We have SO many amazing things on our website (and in-shop, too), that it can be hard to catch everything. We have a stunning collection of antique Mexican retablos, and I wanted to share these two I just rephotographed and added to their listing, with even more close up details apparent. These two 19th century retablos feature Santa Rita de Cascia; when she was canonized in the year 1900, she was bestowed the title of Patroness of Impossible Causes. In Mexico, Santa Rita is widely venerated as the Patroness Saint of mothers, abused wives and heartbroken women. There’s so much more to her story — if you’d like to read it, and look at these pieces more closely, follow the link in our profile! #santaritadecassia #santarita #santaritaretablos #antiqueretablos #retablos #mexicanretablo #retablosmexicanos #patronsaintofmothers #patronsaintofheartbrokenwoman #morherhood #heartbroken #margheritalotti #catholic #catholicart #religiousart #folkart #patronsaint #art #decorate #antique #antiquepainting #antiqueart #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnIkP5OuaHY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve bled without telling a soul, not ghosted or clinging to this sticky world, what hunger compels me onward. It’s not that I cannot care about the world we’ve broken. All afternoon I’ve believed in my own strength.

I used to have horrible nightmares with demons in the darkness surrounding me. I prayed to my guardian angel, and one night I had a dream with an angel who appeared from the darkness holding a sword in his left hand. He cut the darkness, and the light went through it. The demons, taken by surprise, rushed from under my bed and disappeared. I thank my guardian angel because after that night I have only light and pleasant dreams. (x)

RETABLO (2017) dir. Álvaro Delgado-Aparicio In the high mountains of rural Peru and the wind-swept landscapes of the Andes, the fourteen-year-old boy, Segundo, prepares to follow in his sculptor father's footsteps, and learn the traditional art of box-making. Indeed, depicting intricate religious scenes and significant everyday events on wood is a dying art; however, even though Segundo admires his father, more and more, he is feeling the heavy burden of legacy on his shoulders. Then, the accidental discovery of a well-hidden family secret will bring young Segundo face-to-face with the profoundly religious and well-knit community. Will Segundo explore the weight of heritage, discover the boundaries of love and the burdens of family expectations, as well as the complexity of accepting our parents as they are? (link in title)
