Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Baroque painting | | Spanish term or phrase: recordatorios fúnebres | This is from an academic article on Castillian baroque painting. The authors would like this into US English. The article is focusing heavily on images of cucifixion. In this section it says:
...pese a que existen infinidad de leyendas sobre su origen, y en España es una de las imágenes más reproducidas en estampas de devoción y *recordatorios fúnebres* en realidad sabemos pocas cosas concretas sobre él, salvo que se encontraba en el oratorio del convento de monjas benedictinas de San Plácido...
I know what this is referring to, they are card given to people to commemorate a death. I'm not sure what we call them in English, maybe in memorium cards?
Thanks everyone! |
