995 - ESCUELA ESPAÑOLA FFS. S.XVII

ESCUELA ESPAÑOLA FFS. S.XVII Carved in polychrome and gilded wood. It depicts the Immaculate Conception in the traditional manner, adorned with a white tunic and a blue star-studded mantle. She is shown in a sorrowful, prayerful pose, with her hands clasped and her gaze directed forward. Her loose hair parts at the back, slightly reminiscent of, though less rigidly, the work of Gregorio Fernández. She is adorned with a silver star-studded halo. The movement of the drapery is fantastically rendered, particularly noticeable in some folds of the tunic and the mantle, especially at the back. It rests on a base composed of several winged angel heads. Traditionally associated with the work of Alonso Cano, both his circle and workshop. 135 cm tall.
