A fascinating display of mexican paintings, all inspired by the saints that saved mexican's life, either through illness, jail, or being close to death.
The paintings were so popular with the citezens they were painted on cheap tin so anybody could get a chance to share their gratitude with the saints.
The images themselves are very detailed in telling the story yet are quite simple, there is only one bed and a door if it was in a bedroom, no miscellaneous items, which I believe makes it feel familiar to anyone looking at the painting.
The figures have a great look to them as you can feel the looseness of the painting and that perspective was not a issue its the message through the story they wanted to show first.
