Inmaculada Concepción is an 18th‑century oil painting from Spain in Baroque style, measuring 68 by 85 cm, unsigned and sold with a frame.
Description from the seller
Lot: Immaculate Conception
Author: Anonymous
Attribution: Spanish school, circle of Mateo Cerezo style
Period: 17th–18th century
Technique: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 46 × 63 cm (without frame)
Provenance: Private collection
Condition: General craquelure and wear typical of age; no visible recent interventions.
Description:
A representative work of Hispanic Baroque, with an iconography of the Immaculate Conception deeply rooted in 17th-century Madrid painting. The figure of the Virgin, with an idealized face and serene expression, shows stylistic affinities with models disseminated by Mateo Cerezo, especially in the treatment of the blue mantle, the enveloping light, and the arrangement of cherubs. The composition responds to schemes characteristic of the circle of Cerezo and late Baroque devotional painting, with possible connections to later workshops or viceroyal production.
Observations:
The work presents iconographic and formal elements that allow situating it within the pictorial tradition derived from Cerezo, although its execution suggests a broader artistic milieu, typical of workshops active between the late 17th and 18th centuries.
