About the Item

Our Lady of Portillo of Arévalo (Our Lady of Mount Carmel), polychrome wood carving, Spanish school, 17th century 📝 Description Devotional carving in polychrome and gilded wood representing Our Lady of Portillo of Arévalo, a local devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Made in the Spanish school of the 17th century, it shows the crowned Virgin, standing on a pedestal with cherub heads, with her arms outstretched in a protective gesture. Although some of her original attributes have disappeared (probably scapulars or the Christ Child), she retains much of the polychromy and gilding with an antique patina. A work of popular character but with great devotional power, linked to the Carmelite tradition in Castile. Tailed figure 55 cm high, with crown and pedestal 70 cm, 25 cm wide

Large 18th Century Spanish Handcrafted Sculpture of Virgin Mary "Immaculate"

Located in Madrid, ES

Completely hand-crafted in 18th century Spain, this sculpture of the Virgin Mary of Immaculate Conception stands 1.5 meters / 5 feet tall, is topped by a silver halo / crown, and was most certainly created for devotional purposes, to be displayed in a church or chapel. Besides its impressive size, this sculpture is an excellent, truly museum-quality example of the Spanish “Estofado” polychrome technique, developed during the Gothic period to imitate rich brocade fabrics. The finely carved “fabric” areas of the sculpture would be first covered in gesso, and then a layer of gold leaf would be applied. The gold leaf would then be painted over with various colors of tempera paints. Once dry, the painted surface would be incised or scratched away in patterns, revealing the gold beneath. The sculpture was professionally restored in 2022 by a firm that is often contracted by the Spanish government to work on historic building interiors and museum pieces. The virgin was carefully cleaned, repaired and its condition stabilized. A complete and fully-illustrated restoration report will be included with purchase. Often confused with the virgin birth of Jesus, the belief that the Blessed Virgin Mary herself was conceived “immaculately” without original sin has been variously defended and debated within the Catholic Church since the pre-Middle Ages. For centuries, artists struggled to create an acceptable visual representation of this highly abstract concept, in part taking inspiration from the Book of Revelation and other scriptural sources. In this case, we see the Virgin standing on a half moon (biblically inspired, though also an ancient symbol of chastity) with her long natural hair loose down her back, another indication of purity. Both her white tunic and flowing blue mantle...
