Neoclassical Spanish School (XVIII) - The Immaculate Conception

- Oil on canvas. Restretched and lined, old.

- The paradigm of the Immaculate Conception in Spanish Neoclassicism entailed a rational purification and formal restraint in the face of Murillo's Baroque mystic fervor. Under the influence of the Real Academia de San Fernando and figures such as Anton Raphael Mengs, the Virgin shed the turmoils of clouds and playful angels to adopt a monumental, almost sculptural presence, governed by symmetry and compositional clarity. The dogma was then depicted through precise drawing and a colder, more austere color palette, where the blue mantle and white tunic lost their aerial agitation and fell with classical weight, turning the Marian figure into a symbol of intellectual purity and moral balance that resonated with Enlightenment ideals, seeking a devotion that appealed to both reason and feeling.

- Image dimensions without frame: 40 x 62 cm / 54 x 76 cm with exclusive custom frame.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit issued by the Ministry of Culture. While this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free international circulation.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and unrepeatable artworks, guaranteeing authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every purchase, we offer a digital Guarantee Certificate, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate confirms that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and condition. The Guarantee Certificate includes full details about the piece, such as author, date of creation, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Guarantee Certificate will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the acquired piece. This document will be sent in digital format and will be signed by a gallery art historian, ensuring its validity and support.

We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and confidence, so any questions about the authenticity or condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Guarantee Certificate, please contact us through our usual channels.

As art logistics experts, Montbaron Gallery is dedicated to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, guaranteeing maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that the shipping costs shown in the listing are indicative and subject to change depending on various circumstances. These include fluctuations in transportation market rates, changes in delivery location, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fuel cost fluctuations or adjustments in customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will always be informed beforehand before proceeding with shipment. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailored to each client’s needs, ensuring that the artwork reaches its destination quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the previous images has been added to the artwork by a third party or by the seller, and therefore is not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that when the work arrives at your home it can be displayed immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not be considered valid grounds for a claim or cancellation.
