Philippine school; 18th century. "Immaculate Conception". Carved and polychromed wood. Polychromy from the end of the 18th century. It presents faults in the carving. Measurements: 25,5 x 9,5 x 6,5 cm. In this sculpture of devotional character, the author presents us with the image of the Virgin as the main character. Standing on a base decorated with the moon and with her hands on her chest, although they are not visible due to the loss of the carving, this iconography alludes to the dedication of the Purísima. The definitive iconographic image of the Immaculate Conception took shape in the 16th century, apparently in Spain. Following a Valencian tradition, the Jesuit Father Alberro had a vision and described it to the painter Juan de Juanes so that he could depict it as faithfully as possible. It is an evolved iconographic concept, sometimes associated with the theme of the Coronation of the Virgin. Most of these images are accompanied in the painting by the Marian symbols of the litanies and psalms, such as the mystical rose, the palm tree, the cypress, the enclosed garden, the ark of Faith, the gate of Heaven, the ivory tower, the sun and the moon, the sealed fountain, the cedar of Lebanon, the spotless mirror, the morning star, etc. Seventeenth-century artists faithfully maintained the iconographic type but dispensed with or reduced the symbols of the litanies, incorporating them into the composition in a naturalistic manner, and sought greater dynamism and a sense of theatricality. This trend culminated in the 18th century, when we find compositions such as the one we present here, still with some iconographic attributes but already greatly reduced. Given the importance given to religious images in the Hispanic world, during the 17th and 18th centuries ambitious pictorial series and extensive iconographic programmes were created for churches and convents, as well as printed prints, medals and reliquaries for private devotion. As a whole, regardless of their size or medium, these images fulfilled the aim of sacralising everyday life beyond the altars. The Granada school stood out during this period, receiving and developing the stylistic patterns characteristic of the Baroque. Dimensions 25.5 x 9.5 x 6.5 cm.
