The Immaculate Conception ANTONIO DE PEREDA c. 1660

  Like his fellow Spaniard, Antonio de Pereda excels at depicting the Immaculate Conception, especially since he has added two cherubs crowning her in anticipation: from all eternity the Blessed Trinity, which knows no time, the Eternal Present, in the moment of creating this most beautiful and perfect of all creatures, the Mother of God, she was the Queen of Heaven from the beginning.
