Description

Spanish school; XVIII century. "Immaculate Conception". Polychrome carved wood. Presents restorations. Measurements: 66 x 29 x 13 cm. Sculpture carved in round bulk, full body, representing the Virgin Mary in her invocation as the Immaculate Conception. Although devoid, in this case, of the pedestal with half moon if you can see the orb with the snake that also characterize its iconography. The Virgin appears dressed with tunic and mantle, folding both with volumetric draperies that provide an expressive aspect to the figure. It is an image anchored in baroque aesthetics. The face, tends to idealization, fine lips and almond-shaped eyes are gently inscribed in an oval of rounded features. The long hair falls over the shoulders. Given the importance given to religious images in the Hispanic world, during the 17th century ambitious pictorial series and extensive iconographic programs were created for churches and convents, as well as printed prints, medals and reliquaries for private devotion. As a whole, regardless of their size or support, these images fulfilled the objective of sacralizing daily life beyond the altars. The Granada school stood out during this period, receiving and developing the stylistic patterns of the Baroque. It presents restorations.
