Description

It follows models of JOSE VERGARA (Valencia, 1726- 1799), XVIII century. "Immaculate Conception". Oil on canvas. Measurements: 105 x 75 cm. Ascensional representation of the Immaculate Conception surrounded by angels. In composition and style it follows closely the homonymous painting of José Vergara conserved in the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia. The blue mantle and the white tunic (symbols of purity) that dresses the full-length figure, together with the attributes that symbolize the Immaculate Conception (among which the crescent moon stands out as an emblem of power over evil) make up a typically baroque dynamic devotional painting. The foreshortenings of each child stand out, with the plump bodies modeled one by one with a successful play of light. In the center of the break of glory shines the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. José Vergara Gimeno was the most outstanding Valencian painter of the second half of the 18th century. With an enormous pictorial work, both in fresco and on easel, he evolved from the late Baroque to Neoclassicism. He is the founder of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in 1768.
