Chapel of the Immaculate Conception. Sculpture, carved wood, glass, metal. Second half of the 18th century. A carved wooden chapel with vase-shaped decoration at the top of the railing and balusters, reminiscent of the Baroque style, features three of its four sides in clear glass and is raised slightly on circular legs. Inside, a gilded background (on the fourth side of the chapel, highlighting a carved and polychrome vegetal composition) and a polychrome sculpture of the Immaculate Conception surrounded by alternating flat, undulating, pointed, and circular rays of light are visible. The sculpture stands on a pedestal and wears a white tunic and a blue mantle; Mary stands on the Orb of Creation, in which a serpent (associated with Sin) appears. The sculpture shows a clear influence of Spanish Baroque models, as well as certain details, such as the pose, that can be linked to Neoclassicism. This blending and the persistence of Baroque influence are common in 18th-century Spanish sculpture.
