About the Item

Immaculate Conception. Carved and polychrome wood, glass, silver. Portuguese school, 18th century. Sculpture made of wood showing a young Mary, with her hands together in front of her chest in an attitude of prayer, and standing on a cloud, from which emerge winged angel heads and on which there is a “false” (a silver crescent moon with a face on both sides). Dressed in a tunic, the cloak appears waving, the garments decorated with flowers, waves, etc., combining polychromy and gilding. She has a crown, in silver in its colour, with architectural and plant elements of strong classicist influence, which does not show contrasting marks. Under the cloud, there is a rectangular pedestal, made of gilded wood and decorated with architectural and plant elements in relief. Note that it is also worked on the back, where a label appears after the completion of the work. Given its iconography, it is believed to be a carving of the Immaculate Conception. It is one of the most common models for depicting the Virgin in Spanish Baroque art, and is also common in other schools (where reference is usually made to the Virgin of the Conception or the Immaculate Conception). This devotion presents an iconography whose development began in Spanish Gothic art, responding to a desire to highlight the purity of the Mother of Christ. In its beginnings, it presented details of the Vision of Saint John on Patmos and elements belonging to the Marian Litanies, becoming simpler over time. Stylistically, the movement and certain details of the mantle show a certain influence of Rococo, an artistic movement that originated in France (where it developed between 1730 and 1760) and which spread from there to other European schools. There is evidence of the existence of a sculpture quite similar to the one present in the Portuguese Nossa Senhora da Vila, Nossa Senhora do Bispo e Silveiras (officially: União de Freguesias de Nossa Senhora da Vila, Nossa Senhora do Bispo e Silveiras), Évora, dated to the second half of the 18th century and considered to be from the Portuguese school, although no further details have been found about its authorship. This sculpture also has a base similar to that of this sculpture. · Size: 21x15x56 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.

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...
