"The Immaculate Conception" is a term that refers to several paintings by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, depicting the Virgin Mary as the Immaculate Conception. Among these, one of the most celebrated is a work from the latter part of the 17th century, now held in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. Murillo, born in Seville in 1617 and active during the Golden Age of Spanish art, became renowned for his religious works and his depictions of the Virgin Mary.

Murillo's interpretation of the Immaculate Conception is characterized by its serene and celestial portrayal of the Virgin. She is often depicted as a young woman, clothed in blue and white, with her hands crossed over her chest or raised in prayer, and surrounded by a halo of light or stars, signifying her purity. Angels and cherubic figures frequently accompany her, emphasizing her divine and immaculate nature.

The iconography of the Immaculate Conception in Murillo's work follows the Catholic doctrine as defined by the Church, which holds that Mary was conceived without original sin. This belief was a popular subject in Spanish art, particularly after the declaration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Sixtus IV in 1476, and was later dogmatically defined by Pope Pius IX in 1854.

Murillo's paintings of the Immaculate Conception were highly influential and contributed to the popularization of the theme in Spanish art. His soft, warm approach to the subject matter, with an emphasis on naturalism and tender human emotion, made his works particularly appealing to both ecclesiastical and private patrons. The Prado's version of "The Immaculate Conception" is often considered one of the finest examples of Murillo's work on this theme, showcasing his mastery of light, composition, and the expression of spiritual rapture.

The painting's legacy extends beyond its religious significance; it is also an important work in the history of art for its stylistic qualities and influence on the genre of religious painting. Murillo's "The Immaculate Conception" remains a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring appeal of this iconic subject in Christian art.
