Pair Of Oil Paintings On Tin, South America, Late 19th Century

A charming pair of oil paintings on tin, mounted on wood, from South America, dated to the late 19th century. These artworks, likely part of the popular religious art tradition of the region, depict two iconic scenes: Christ at the Column, showing Jesus tied to a column before His scourging, and The Guardian Angel, symbolizing spiritual protection and guidance.

Each painting measures 20 x 28 cm, providing a compact and harmonious format. The use of tin, an unconventional support, adds a unique charm to these works, typical of the folk art of the time and place. Mounted on wooden panels for protection and stability, these pieces have been preserved with care.
