Religious imagery appeared in a range of media and sizes to help foster devotion among Catholics in the Americas. Small paintings of saints such as these\u2014called santos de retablo\u2014would have been hung in churches or in private homes and carried in processions or during travel. As in European precedents, this Andean example includes portraits of the donors shown worshiping the pictured saint. The inscription at center identifies them as Mariano Pina and his wife (at left) and their two sons (at right). The men wear ceremonial Indian costume, and Pina himself holds a santo de retablo that echoes this painting.
