The Soul of Mary or The Virgin Annunciate

The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception was proclaimed by Pius IV in 1854. The title of "Nuestra Señora De La Concepción Inmaculada" may be properly assigned to a variety of Marian figures. These all refer to the purity of Mary, although they may appear in a milieu of different poses and allegories.

The subject of the Inmaculada is very common in retablo painting, although there is no particular patronage related to the image.
