The Idea of the Icon:

The Retablo Collection at New Mexico State University

The University Art Gallery at New Mexico State University houses one of the largest collections of retablos in North America. Only a small selection of the University's 1,743 retablos are currently on-line. We will add to our on-line collection on a regular basis. Please return to this site to view our latest additions.

The Idea of the Icon
is a collaboration between
The Computing Research Laboratory
and
The Department of Art
at
New Mexico State University.

It is part of an ongoing effort to make the cultural resources of southern New Mexico available to scholars and the public.

We encourage comments and suggestions to help us improve our site. We are especially interested in hearing from scholars who wish to make use of our unique collection.

Text for this display, including descriptions for each painting, is available in either Spanish or English
