"Santos Retablos," created in 1936 by Maude Valle, is a depiction of a crucified Christ, a common theme in religious art. The artwork uses a simple, stylized approach with a focus on the figure of Christ, surrounded by a background of swirling shapes and floral motifs. This retablo, a type of devotional artwork often found in Mexican and Latin American religious traditions, serves as a reminder of faith and sacrifice. The piece is a testament to Valle's artistic talents and her ability to capture the essence of religious devotion through a distinct visual language.
