The Spanish Monarchy defender of the Immaculate Conception, through some seventeenth-century spanish prints
Abstract
In the 17th century the Spanish monarchy was the great defender of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, and the kings repeatedly tried the mystery to be raised to dogma of faith. This attitude will be reflected in different artistic expressions, among which the prints that accompanied the many treatises on the doctrine that were published in Spain in this century are one of the most interesting exponents. Here we study four examples dating from the 1650es, although many more and equally interesting could have been presented.Downloads
