- Late 19th Century Original Retablo Oil Painting on Tin created in Mexico.
- Retablo dimensions are approx. 7 inches horizontal x 10 inches vertical.
- Condition: in good, original condition with some minor paint loss acquired over more than a century of use and devotional prayer. There are a few bent corners, and the mouth of the Infant Jesus has been worn away by repeated touching and devotion from a former owner.
- Note from Brian: An early purchase from my beloved friend, scholar and Master Dealer, James Caswell of Historia Antiques. This wonderful Folk Retablo has a surface burnish from years or decades in front of devotional candles receiving the prayers and requests of petitioners. There is a similar example by the same artist in Saints and Sinners. A highly important resource for anyone interested in Mexican Retablo Art.
- Saint Anthony was born Fernando Martins in Lisbon, Portugal. He was born into a wealthy family and by the age of fifteen asked to be sent to the Abbey of Santa Cruz in Coimbra, then the capital of Portugal. During his time in the Abbey, he learned Theology and Latin.
- Following his ordination to the priesthood, he was named Guestmaster and was responsible for the abbey's hospitality. When Franciscan friars settled a small hermitage outside Coimbra dedicated to Saint Anthony of Egypt, Fernando felt a longing to join them.
- Fernando eventually received permission to leave the Abbey so he could join the new Franciscan Order. When he was admitted, he changed his name to Anthony.
- Anthony then traveled to Morocco to spread God's truth, but became extremely sick and was returned to Portugal to recover. The return voyage was blown off-course and the party arrived in Sicily, from which they traveled to Tuscany. Anthony was assigned to the hermitage of San Paolo after local friars considered his health.
- As he recovered, Anthony spent his time praying and studying.
- An undetermined amount of time later, Dominican friars came to visit the Franciscans and there was confusion over who would present the homily. The Dominicans were known for their preaching, thus the Franciscans assumed it was they who would provide a homilist, but the Dominicans assumed the Franciscans would provide one. It was then the head of the Franciscan hermitage asked Anthony to speak on whatever the Holy Spirit told him to speak of.
- Though he tried to object, Anthony delivered an eloquent and moving homily that impressed both groups. Soon, news of his eloquence reached Francis of Assisi, who held a strong distrust of the brotherhood's commitment to a life of poverty. However, in Anthony, he found a friend.
- In 1224, Francis entrusted his friars' pursuits of studies to Anthony. Anthony had a book of psalms that contained notes and comments to help when teaching students and, in a time when a printing press was not yet invented, he greatly valued it.
- When a novice decided to leave the hermitage, he stole Anthony's valuable book. When Anthony discovered it was missing, he prayed it would be found or returned to him. The thief did return the book and in an extra step returned to the Order as well.
- The book is said to be preserved in the Franciscan friary in Bologna today.
- Anthony occasionally taught at the universities of Montpellier and Toulouse in southern France, but he performed best in the role of a preacher.
- So simple and resounding was his teaching of the Catholic Faith, most unlettered and the innocent could understand his messages. It is for this reason he was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII in 1946.
- Once, when St. Anthony of Padua attempted to preach the true Gospel of the Catholic Church to heretics who would not listen to him, he went out and preached his message to the fish in a local river. This was not, as liberals and naturalists have tried to say, for the instruction of the fish, but rather for the glory of God, the delight of the angels, and the easing of his own heart. When critics saw the fish begin to gather and move excitedly in the water, they realized they should also listen to what Anthony had to say.
- He was only 36-years-old when he died and was canonized less than one year afterward by Pope Gregory IX. Upon exhumation some 336 years after his death, his body was found to be corrupted, yet his tongue was totally incorrupt, so perfect were the teachings that had been formed upon it.
- He is typically depicted with a book and holding the Infant Child Jesus, and is commonly referred to today as the "finder of lost articles."

The best hand soap bars PERIOD.
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
Wow! I am actually VERYYYY impressed with this soap. Believe me when I tell you I have tried everything from $5 for 6 bars soap to $50 for 1 bar soap (not an exaggeration). And I can wholeheartedly say this is the absolute best bang for your buck when it comes hand washing/soap. To me these little bars are absolutely awesome for hand washing. I use the scrubby bar when I have a ton of grease after eating say pizza or something & and then I use the moisturizing bars for all other hand washing. These bars blow away some of the best artisan expensive bars I’ve used like Caldwell Massey or Gentleman’s Nod or Ariana & Evans. These are now go to hand soap bars and I will use nothing else because these are so good. I don’t use liquid soap because I feel like I can never get it off and it feels like it’s always still stuck to my skin even after rinsing and rinsing and rinsing so I like using bar soap and I like bar soap that really dry out your skin for your hands and these little bars do it extremely well without over drying your skin. I do wish the scent was a bit more powerful because all 3 bars have a nice scent each. Tried the sandalwood bar in the shower and like I suspected go with the 6oz bars for the shower because these little 3.5oz guys just go too quickly for all over body use. So for the shower, I’ll use the 5.3/6oz bars and my hands these little guys will now be my go to!

Great Quality Soap with a Clean, Masculine Scent
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3), Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I recently got the Rinse & Robust Men’s Bar Soap Set, and the bar I’m holding in the picture is the Leather scent, which my husband has been trying out first. It has a rich, masculine fragrance that smells clean without being too strong. The soap lathers nicely, rinses off easily, and leaves his skin feeling soft instead of dry.
The set also includes Sandalwood and Teakwood, which both smell amazing in the box. I can already tell they’ll be just as refreshing. Each bar feels well-made and lasts longer than most store-bought soaps we’ve tried. The packaging looks great too, so it would make a thoughtful gift set. So far, the Leather scent has been a hit. It’s a classic, smooth, and perfect for everyday use.

My honest thoughts on this soap.
Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 3)
I think this soap is very good. The texture is nice and the scent it omits is amazing. It is a little smaller than they are letting on and it is quite expensive. But if you like quality over quantity then this is for you.
