Spanish Colonial Antiques Latin American Art

In the Post-Conquest era, much of the art Spain and Portugal's colonies produced was of a religious nature—furnishings for Catholic churches, chapels, monasteries, and for home altars. Our small-scale "santos," saint figures, small religious paintings and prints, retablos, niches, and crucifixes were mostly made for people's private, at-home devotion. Our one-of-a-kind objects date mostly from the nineteenth and early 20th century, and were once family heirlooms, sold in times of need or changing fashions.
