Description

Andalusian school, around 1760."Immaculate Conception with donor Mr. Francisco Lasso de Castilla, Bishop of Malaga."Oil on canvas.With frame from 18th Century.Measurements: 63.5 x 47.5 cm; 69.5 x 57.5 cm (frame).The theme of the Immaculate Conception, very frequent in 17th century Spanish art, came to constitute one of Spain's national signs of identity as a Catholic country. It is one of the most genuinely local themes of Spanish Baroque painting, since our country was the main defender of this mystery, and the one that fought most insistently to make it a dogma of faith. In this context, numerous artists and intellectuals worked to build a clear iconography that would help spread the Immaculate Conception, bringing together symbolism and popular fervor. Due to its stylistic characteristics, the work in question can be inscribed within the Andalusian school of the late second half of the eighteenth century. It is a direct heir to the Baroque models of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, both in composition and iconography. Thus, we see Mary dressed in a white tunic, wearing a blue mantle that floats around her. The figures of the child angels also derive directly from Murillo's models, both in their conception and in their placement, distributed between the lower area of the painting, under the pedestal of clouds, and the upper one, as cherub heads surrounding the breaking of Glory. As we have already pointed out, the composition faithfully follows Murillo's models: Mary full-length in the center, dressed in white and blue, with her hair loose forming soft undulations, with the crescent moon at her feet, surrounded by angels and clouds, with the open sky behind her figure, flooded by the golden light of the Gloria. The scene is completed by the presence of a kneeling donor in the lower right corner, in a praying position, looking directly at Christ. It is D. Francisco Lasso de Castilla, Bishop of Malaga, according to the inscription in the lower right part.
