Votive paintings in Mexico go by several names in Spanish such as “ex voto,” “retablo” or “lámina,” which refer to their purpose, place often found, or material from which they are traditionally made respectively. The painting of religious images to give thanks for a miracle or favour received in this country is part of a long tradition of such in the world.

| - Les peintures votives du Mexique, aussi appelées ex-voto, ou en espagnol « Retablo » ou « lámina » selon leur objet, l'endroit où on les trouve souvent ou le matériel dont elles sont traditionnellement fabriquées. Peindre des images religieuses pour remercier d'un miracle ou d'une faveur reçue dans ce pays fait partie d'une longue tradition de ce genre dans le monde. L'offre de tels articles a une préséance plus immédiate dans les lignées mésoaméricaines et européennes de la culture mexicaine, mais la forme que la plupart des peintures votives prennent de la période coloniale à nos jours, est introduite au Mexique par les Espagnols. Comme en Europe, les peintures votives commencent comme des images statiques de saints ou d'autres personnalités religieuses, qui sont ensuite données à une église. Plus tard, des images narratives, racontant l'histoire personnelle d'un miracle ou d'une faveur reçue, sont apparues. Ces peintures sont d'abord produites par les riches et souvent sur toile; cependant, lorsque les feuilles d'étain sont devenues abordables, les classes inférieures ont commencé à les peindre sur ce support. La version narrative sur feuilles de métal est maintenant la forme traditionnelle et représentative des peintures votives, bien que les œuvres modernes puissent être exécutées sur papier ou sur tout autre support. Des milliers de visiteurs mexicains trouvent des peintures votives narratives dans certains sanctuaires comme celui de la Vierge de Guadalupe et de (en) qui en attirent un très grand nombre. En raison de leur prolifération, en particulier aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, de nombreuses peintures votives plus anciennes quittent les lieux où elles sont déposées et entrent dans des collections publiques et privées. Diego Rivera commence la collection de ces œuvres, dont il a influencé les travaux, de même que celles de nombreux autres peintres du passé et du présent. La magnifique collection d'ex-votos de Frida Kahlo est exposée au public dans la maison de sa famille, qu'elle a ensuite partagée avec son mari Rivera. (fr)
- Votive paintings in Mexico go by several names in Spanish such as “ex voto,” “retablo” or “lámina,” which refer to their purpose, place often found, or material from which they are traditionally made respectively. The painting of religious images to give thanks for a miracle or favour received in this country is part of a long tradition of such in the world. The offering of such items has more immediate precedence in both the Mesoamerican and European lines of Mexican culture, but the form that most votive paintings take from the colonial period to the present was brought to Mexico by the Spanish. As in Europe, votive paintings began as static images of saints or other religious figures which were then donated to a church. Later, narrative images, telling the personal story of a miracle or favor received appeared. These paintings were first produced by the wealthy and often on canvas; however, as sheets of tin became affordable, lower classes began to have these painted on this medium. The narrative version on metal sheets is now the traditional and representative form of votive paintings, although modern works can be executed on paper or any other medium. Narrative votive paintings can be found by the thousands in many locations in Mexico although certain shrines and sanctuaries such as that of the Virgin of Guadalupe and in Chalma attract a very large number of these. Due their proliferation, especially in the 18th and 19th century, many older votive paintings have left the places they were deposited and found their way into public and private collections. The collecting of these was begun by Diego Rivera, whose work, along with those of a number of other painters past and present, has been influenced by them. Frida Kahlo's beautiful collection of ex votos is on public display in her family home, which she later shared with Rivera, her husband. (en)
