IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHAPEL. SCULPTURE, WOOD, METAL, GLASS. SECOND HALF 18TH CENTURY.

Chapel of the Immaculate Conception. Sculpture, carved wood, glass, metal. Second half of the 18th century. Carved wooden chapel with decoration on the upper part of the railing and balusters in the shape of a vase of a certain Baroque souvenir, which presents three of its four fronts in transparent glass and stands slightly on circular legs. Inside, you can see a golden background (on the fourth front of the chapel, highlighting a carved and polychrome plant composition), and a polychrome sculpture of the Immaculate Conception surrounded by alternating flat and wavy and pointed and circular light rays. The carving stands on a pedestal, and presents a white tunic and a blue mantle; Mary stands on the Orb of Creation, in which a snake appears (linked to Sin). The carving shows a clear influence of Spanish Baroque models, in addition to certain details such as posture that can be linked to Neoclassicism. This mixture and the maintenance of the Baroque influence are common in Spanish sculpture of the 18th century.
