Neoclassical Spanish School (XVIII) - The Immaculate Conception

- Oil on canvas. Relined and antique mounted and framed.

- The paradigm of the Immaculate Conception in Spanish Neoclassicism implied a rational purification and formal restraint in the face of the mystic effervescence of Murillo’s Baroque. Under the influence of the Royal Academy of San Fernando and figures such as Anton Raphael Mengs, the Virgin shed the whirlwinds of clouds and playful angels to adopt a monumental, almost sculptural presence, governed by symmetry and compositional clarity. The dogma was then represented through precise drawing and a cooler, more austere color palette, where the blue mantle and white robe lost their airy agitation to fall 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.

- Dimensions of the image unframed: 40 x 62 cm / 54 x 76 cm with exclusive custom frame.
