Retablos and ex-votos are the votive paintings offered to a saint in gratitude for miraculous help, healing or escape from dangerous situations. The art of retablo was rediscovered by modern artists in the 20th century. Pseudo-folk retablos became a form of postmodern art. During last years, there has been growing popularity for retablos among tourists and collectors. Retablos.ru is the biggest collection of modern Mexican retablos translated into English and Russian.
