| La Alegoria de la Redencion, one of the most curious subjects in retablo art, is, as the name implies, layered with allegoric and symbolic imagery throughout. In the lower quadrant a small cartouche with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is flanked by a dozen 'anima solas' in the flames of purgatory. In the upper quadrant, Christ on the Cross, surrounded by a star filled sky, is flanked by Saint Michael, Mater Dolorosa, the sun, the moon and the Eternal Father above.
Dimensions are 10" x 14."
Condition: Excellent, with only very minor paint loss.
