About the Item

An exceptional 18th-century Spanish Baroque sculpture of the Immaculate Conception, carved in chestnut wood and richly polychromed and crowned. The sculpture retains its vibrant pigments, which highlight the flowing robes and serene facial expression and celestial aura expression of the Immaculate Virgin. The image also represents three cherubs support the Virgin, a classic feature of Marian iconography from the Baroque period. This image rests in an original wooden podium, representing an 18th century scene of the iconography of the Immaculate Virgin to praise the Divine. With its elegant proportions and refined execution, this artwork honors the Baroque tradition. Standing 129 cm tall (50.79 in), with a width of 36 cm (14.18 in) and depth of 52 cm (20.48 in), it is a monumental piece ideal for chapels, private devotion, or discerning collectors of religious art.

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...
