Retablos are small devotional paintings or box shrines commonly found in Catholic traditions, particularly in Mexico and Peru. They originated from European altarpieces and are used to honor saints and express gratitude. Often displayed on home altars and in churches, retablos also represent vibrant examples of folk art.
