Ex-voto Mexican Retablo Farmer Gives Thanks for Putting Out Fire Saving Cow

Description: Ex-voto Mexican Folk Art Farmer Gives Thanks for Putting Out Fire Saving Cow Tin Sign RetabloThis ex-voto is a handmade wall hanging – a signed piece of Mexican folk art. This is a prayer of thanks in words and picture, all hand painted directly onto the tin.The artwork shows a farmer in the stable, the cow kicking the lantern, and a fire erupting. This is the story: (loosely translated)“On February 7 1947 while I was milking Lucero (the cow), she kicked the lantern causing a fire in the stable. In the flames I asked with all my faith for the help of the Virgin of the Lightning. For extinguishing the flames, I thank her for the intervention. s/ Macario Solis, Teoloyucan”In the artwork, Macario and the cow are trying to run from the flames. The Virgin of the Lightning intervenes.This is a bright and colorful retablo with wonderful detail. The tin sign measures just over 11-1/2 inches across x just over 9 inches in height.Artwork is signed “Pedro Sosa.”This is an original piece of artwork, bought from the artist's family in Mexico City.Because this is a handmade piece of art on a piece of scrap metal and because of the type of art, the artist intended irregularities, uneven edges, slight bends in the tin, some rust, scratches and paint splotches.The piece of tin used is not rigid. There may be light and camera shadows showing in the photo of the back of the tin.Our inventory EX106 Vermont Eye Candy’s fine print We offer combined shipping if it is feasible.
