EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Holy Child of Atocha" by Jose Rafael Aragon, created around 1840. Painted with water-based paint on a wood panel, this masterpiece measures 26x20.3 cm and is housed in The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Holy Infant of Atocha, also known as Santo Niño de Atocha, is a cherished Roman Catholic image that holds great significance among Hispanic cultures. This portrayal of Christ features distinctive elements such as a basket, staff, drinking gourd, and a cape attached to a scallop shell - symbolizing pilgrimage to Saint James on the Camino de Santiago. With its rich history and cultural symbolism deeply rooted in Spanish America and beyond, this painting evokes feelings of devotion and spirituality. Its presence can be felt not only within the realms of religion but also within art movements like santero and folk art. As we admire this piece's naive charm and vibrant colors reminiscent of Latin American aesthetics, it transports us to an era when faith played an integral role in people's lives. The delicate flowers adorning the altar screen add an element of beauty while emphasizing the reverence associated with Catholicism. Through this photographical representation by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded once again of the enduring power that religious art possesses - transcending time and borders to touch our souls with its profound message.
