About the Item
Amazing 16th Century Castilian Virgin of Sorrows with an 18th-century Silver Crown, Virgin of Peñaranda
Exceptional 16th-century Castilian school Virgin of Sorrows of Peñaranda, carved in polychrome wood. The large-format image reflects the spiritual intensity of the Castilian Renaissance, with a serene and melancholic face, a prelude to later Baroque expressiveness. It features rich embroidered textiles and lace, as well as a silver heart with seven daggers, symbolizing the Sorrows of Mary. The piece is completed with a repoussé silver crown, added in the 18th century, reinforcing its devotional and processional character. Its rarity, age, and excellent state of preservation make it a work of great historical and artistic value, worthy of a museum or international collection.

18th Century Spanish Virgin Mary of Immaculate Conception, Handcrafted Sculpture
Located in Madrid, ES
Completely hand-crafted in 18th century Spain, this sculpture of the Virgin stands 1.5 meters / 5 feet tall and was most certainly created for devotional purposes, to be displayed in a church or chapel.
Besides its impressive size this sculpture is an excellent, museum-quality example of the Spanish “Estofado” polychrome technique, developed during the Gothic period to imitate rich brocade fabrics. The finely carved “fabric” areas of the sculpture would be first covered in gesso, and then a layer of gold leaf would be applied. The gold leaf would then be painted over with various colors of tempera paints. Once dry, the painted surface would be incised or scratched away in patterns, revealing the gold beneath. 
The sculpture was professionally restored in 2022 by a firm that is often hired by the Spanish government to work on historic building interiors and museum pieces. The virgin was carefully cleaned, repaired and its condition stabilized. A complete and fully-illustrated restoration report will be included with purchase.
Often confused with the virgin birth of Jesus, the belief that the Blessed Virgin Mary herself was conceived “immaculately” without original sin has been variously defended and debated within the Catholic Church since the pre-Middle Ages. For centuries, artists struggled to create an acceptable visual representation of this highly abstract concept, in part taking inspiration from the Book of Revelation and other scriptural sources.
We see the Virgin standing on a half moon (biblically inspired, though also an ancient symbol of chastity) with her long natural hair loose down her back, another indication of purity. Both her white tunic and flowing blue mantle...
