Description

Spanish school; XVII century and later. "Immaculate Conception". Carved and polychrome wood. Presents restoration in the face of the Virgin of the twentieth century. It has an adapted base. Measurements: 31 x 14 x 10 cm (sculpture); 25 x 18 x 16 cm (base). 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 crescent moon and dragon subdued that characterize its iconography, it is probable that in origin it was accompanied by it. The Virgin appears dressed in tunic and mantle, both folded with volumetric draperies that provide a contained aspect to the figure. It is an image anchored in baroque aesthetics. The face tends to idealization, the thin lips and almond-shaped eyes are softly 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. It presents restoration in the face of the Virgin of the XX century.
