This Mexican School, 19th Century oil-on-tin painting depicts St. Raymond Nonnatus, a revered saint known for his devotion and miracles. Measuring 21cm x 14cm, this finely executed piece exemplifies the religious folk art tradition of the period, often used for private devotion.
The saint is portrayed as an elderly, bearded man dressed in a flowing robe with a cinched belt, from which a rosary hangs. A red cloak drapes over his shoulders, adding a striking contrast to the muted tones of his garments. His solemn expression and upward gaze convey deep contemplation and piety. A faint halo surrounds his head, emphasising his sanctity.
In his right hand, he holds a golden monstrance, radiating divine light, symbolising his connection to the Eucharist and his role as a protector of the faithful. The dark background, adorned with subtle decorative elements, enhances the spiritual atmosphere of the piece. To the right, a tall, stylised plant adds depth and balance to the composition.
This painting is a fine example of Mexican devotional art, reflecting the religious fervour and artistic traditions of the 19th century. With its rich patina and signs of age, it retains an authentic antique charm, making it a highly collectible piece for enthusiasts of religious art, folk art, or Spanish colonial heritage.
