Andalusian School; XVIII century. "Immaculate Conception". Oil on canvas. Presents restorations. It has an informative label on the back of the "Caja General de Restauraciones". Provenance: Duques de la Conquista. Measurements: 120,5 x 85,5 cm; 129 x 95 cm (frame). We see in this work a representation of the Immaculate following the aesthetic models of the Spanish baroque with Mary dressed in white and blue (symbols of purity and the concepts of truth and eternity, respectively), surrounded by child angels, standing on the crescent and above her the representation of the Holy Spirit. Some angels carry symbols of the litanies, such as the lilies or the palm. In spite of following the mentioned models, the piece abandons the theatrical splendor of the baroque in favor of a much more sober, measured and balanced scenography that can be appreciated in the tones of color used by the artist and in the composition itself. The dogma of the Immaculate defends that the Virgin was conceived without Original Sin, and was defined and accepted by the Vatican in the Bull Ineffabilis Deus, December 8, 1854. However, Spain and all the kingdoms under its political dominion defended this belief before. Iconographically, the representation takes texts both from the Apocalypse (12: "A great sign appeared in heaven, a woman wrapped in the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars") and from the Lauretan Litany prayed after the rosary and containing epithets of Mary taken from the Song of Songs of King David. Joining both texts and after an evolution that already begins at the end of the Gothic period, we arrive at a very simple and recognizable typology that presents the Virgin on the lunar quarter, with the stars on her head and dressed in light (with a halo on the head only or on the whole body), normally dressed in white and blue in allusion to purity and eternity (although she can also appear in red and blue, in relation then with the Passion), her hands on her chest almost always and represented young as a general rule. It has an informative label on the back of the "Caja General de Restauraciones".
