The Virgin of the Immaculate Conception is a 1670 oil by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, a Spanish Baroque Tenebrist work, held at Walters Art Museum.
In the painting, a woman with long, dark hair and a white robe stands on a cloud, surrounded by cherubs. She holds a dark blue cloth in her hands and wears a halo of stars above her head. The background is a warm, golden color. The woman's white robe is draped elegantly around her, and the dark blue cloth she holds adds a pop of color to the scene. The cherubs surrounding her are playful and full of energy, adding a sense of joy to the painting. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, a Spanish artist known for his religious paintings.
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo ( mure-IL-oh, m(y)uu-REE-oh, Spanish: ; late December 1617, baptised 1 January 1618 – 3 April 1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter.
