Monumental Recumbent Virgin - Spanish or Colonial Master of the 17th century

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 151.5 x 84 cm. The Virgin appears reclining, crowned, with her hands in prayer and her face serene, surrounded by floral and symbolic elements. Her deep blue dress with golden stars and white tunic evoke celestial purity. She rests on richly embroidered cushions, while a crescent moon appears beneath her feet. Around her, flowers and stars float in a golden shadow that accentuates the visionary character of the scene. The position of the figure, her sleepy expression, and the sumptuous details place the work in the tradition of the "Sleeping Virgin" or "Transit of Mary." The sober style, the enveloping chiaroscuro, and the mystical symbolism recall the Zurbarán Circle of the mid-17th century, whose sensibility was oriented toward the contemplative and ascetic. A profoundly spiritual work, charged with lyricism and silent devotion, it embodies the Marian exaltation of the Spanish Baroque. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
