This form of art is called a retablo. A retablo is a devotional painting, especially a small popular or folk art one using iconography derived from the traditional Catholic Church art. More generally, retablo is also the Spanish term for a retable or reredos above an altar, whether a large altarpiece painting or an elaborate wooden structure with sculptures. Typically this includes painting, sculpture or combination of the two, and an elaborate framework enclosing it.
