Vintage Reverse Glass Painted Retablo, Christ Crucifixion, Rustic Wood Frame

This vintage Mexican reverse glass painted retablo showcases a vibrant depiction of the Crucifixion of Christ, flanked by two praying angels. Richly detailed with bold colors, floral patterns, and domed architectural elements topped with crosses, this piece is a stunning example of Mexican folk art. The reverse glass painting technique, combined with the rustic wooden frame, gives it a unique and timeless appeal.

These devotional artworks were created to adorn home altars or sacred spaces, making them both personal and meaningful. The rustic wood frame with its weathered patina adds authenticity and charm, further connecting the piece to its cultural heritage. A striking blend of faith, tradition, and craftsmanship, this retablo is a must-have for collectors of religious or folk art.
