"The Virgin of the Immaculate Conception" is a notable oil painting created by the Greek-born artist Domenikos Theotokopoulos, widely known as El Greco, between 1605 and 1610. This work exemplifies El Greco's mature period, where he resided in Toledo, Spain, and had fully developed his distinctive style characterized by elongated figures and vibrant, expressive use of color and light. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary as the Immaculate Conception, a doctrine of the Catholic Church which holds that Mary was conceived without original sin.

In the artwork, the Virgin is typically portrayed standing alone, often on a crescent moon, surrounded by a halo or an assembly of angels, and with her hands joined in prayer. El Greco's interpretation of the subject is noted for its spiritual intensity and the dramatic contrast between the ethereal figure of the Virgin and the dark, tumultuous background, which may include representations of cherubim and seraphim. The use of light and shadow in the painting not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure but also contributes to the overall mystical atmosphere, a hallmark of El Greco's religious compositions.

"The Virgin of the Immaculate Conception" reflects El Greco's synthesis of Byzantine and Western painting traditions, his personal religious convictions, and the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on Marian iconography. The painting is significant for its influence on the development of the Immaculate Conception imagery in Spanish art and its testament to El Greco's profound impact on the artistic landscape of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods.

This work is part of a larger body of El Greco's paintings that explore the theme of the Immaculate Conception, a subject of great popularity in Spain during his lifetime. The painting's exact location and provenance may vary, as El Greco produced several versions of this theme. As with many of El Greco's works, "The Virgin of the Immaculate Conception" has been studied extensively by art historians and is considered an important piece within the artist's oeuvre, offering insight into his unique approach to religious iconography and his enduring legacy in the history of art.
