15th - 19th century · Luminous virgin, moon and victory over sin
The iconography of the Immaculate Conception translates into images the belief that Mary was preserved from original sin from the first moment of her existence.
The Immaculate Conception does not designate the virginal conception of Christ, but the preservation of Mary from original sin from her own conception. Long debated by theologians, this belief experienced major visual development at the end of the Middle Ages then in Catholic Spain of the Golden Age, before officially becoming a dogma in 1854. Artists gradually constructed a recognizable type. Mary appears young, without the Child, with her hands clasped or crossed on her chest, surrounded by light and angels. The crescent moon under her feet and the crown of stars come from the book of Revelation. Lilies, roses, palm fronds, mirrors, towers or closed doors can evoke its purity. Blue and white often dominate, while the elevation of the body suggests a celestial presence. The selected works show the flexibility of this language. Mengs orders the figure in classical clarity. Rubens associates the doctrine with a Franciscan allegory full of movement. The young Velazquez still uses a dark and powerful naturalism. Murillo, a master particularly linked to the subject, envelops the Virgin and the angels in a soft light which will have an immense influence in Spain and its empire. For an oil reproduction, the challenge lies as much in the precision of the symbols as in the passage between terrestrial matter and luminous apparition. The selection " Immaculate Conception" notably compares The Immaculate Conception and Franciscan Allegory in honor of the Immaculate Conception. Its reading favors movement.
The Immaculate Conception transforms a theological idea into a vision: a figure without weight, carried by light, but made sensitive by color and matter.

Journey, subjects and pictorial language
From a doctrine to an autonomous image
Marian symbols gradually gather around a Virgin represented without the Child. This milestone sheds light on the "Immaculate Conception" collection by favoring movement.
The Spanish Golden Age
Velázquez, Zurbaran, Ribera and especially Murillo establish widely distributed visual formulas.
Dogma and survival of the motive
The pontifical proclamation confirms an already international iconography, still present in churches and visual culture.
