499510 The Immaculate Conception, c.1680 (oil on canvas)
by Murillo, Bartolome Esteban (1618-82); 246.30x152.70 (framed) 220.50x127.50 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception maintains that the Virgin Mary was conceived free from sin, therefore ready to be the pure vessel for Christs birth. The Immaculate Conception enjoyed intense devotion in Spain during the 1600s, although it was only accepted as official doctrine in the 1860s. The abstract subject required artists to develop appropriate imagery. The crescent moon, for example, comes from the New Testament vision of Saint John the Evangelist (Revelation 12:1) of " a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Bartolome Esteban Murillo's masterpiece, "The Immaculate Conception" painted around 1680. The artwork, housed in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, depicts the Virgin Mary as she is conceived free from sin, making her the pure vessel for Christ's birth. During the 1600s in Spain, devotion to the Immaculate Conception was fervent despite not being officially recognized until the 1860s. Artists like Murillo had to develop appropriate imagery to represent this abstract subject. In this painting, we see a woman clothed with the sun and standing on a crescent moon—a reference to Saint John's vision in Revelation 12:1. The print captures every detail of Murillo's work—the delicate clouds surrounding Mary symbolize piety and holiness while angels and cherubs adorn the scene with their celestial presence. The vibrant flowers scattered throughout add an element of beauty and grace. "The Immaculate Conception" is a testament to Murillo's skill as an artist and his ability to convey religious devotion through his brushstrokes. This timeless piece continues to inspire awe and reverence among viewers who appreciate its spiritual significance. With this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, you can bring home a piece of art history that celebrates faith, purity, and divine intervention.
