Santo 1936

Maude Valle's 1936 work, "Santo", is a powerful depiction of a religious icon, likely a Madonna and Child. Rendered in a bold, almost primitive style, the figures are enveloped in a colorful oval halo, suggesting a sacred presence. Valle, known for her expressive, often symbolic, paintings, frequently explored themes of faith and spirituality in her work. This piece, with its rich texture and vibrant color, exemplifies her unique artistic voice.
