Mexican devotional paintings of saints on tin are commonly referred to as retablos, or retablos santos. The paintings were used in household altars in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The practice of maintaining an altar in the home, often with multiple images, became an important part of religious worship in the Americas. People would appeal to different saints for different purposes, and belief held that a saint should be seen to be venerated.

Devotional Paintings
Many merchants also commissioned significant works of art, including devotional paintings. For example, Sandro Botticelli\'s Adoration of the Magi (1470) was commissioned by a modest broker in the Florentine Banker\'s Guild. The
subject of the Adoration of the Kings was popular with wealthy
Florentines, many of whom belonged to a lay association (the Cmpagnia dei Magi) which venerated the Three Kings.
