Description: Painted Wood 'Chapel of Loreto' Retablo (Peru) This handmade creation is offered in partnership with NOVICA, in association with National Geographic. Product Features: Handicraft's starlight pours from the heavens, illuminating the stable where the Christ child was born Known as a retablo, this traditional diorama is housed in a colorful chest crafted of wood Clean with a dry cloth Signed by the artist Story Behind the Art: Peruvian artisan Alejandro Chavez specializes in the creations of retablos, a kind of reverent diorama-altar unique to the Ayacucho region of Peru. When Chavez returned to his hometown, he began working in the studio of Angel Castro, a master artisan. Here he refined his techniques in the creation of retablos, eagerly learning the art from his teacher. Later, Chavez formed his own workshop after the death of his teacher and began to give shape to his art. The customs and traditions of the Andean people emerge in every piece. Today Chavez is part of an association of artisans who participate in national artesania fairs. Chavez tells us that, 'In every one of my works you can find the labors of my wife, who molds the characters, as well as that of my nieces and nephews, whom I currently teach. I sincerely hope that you enjoy your retablo which brings together the culture and traditions of the Andes.'
