This painting shows a fancy chapel with a Madonna and Child in the center. The walls have upside-down obelisks and bright fruits and flowers. Soft pastels make everything glow. Pérez often decorated for Spanish royalty. He painted this like a flat version of a real wooden statue. The scene mixes real and made-up parts. Next, check out Bartolomé Pérez (Spanish, 1634–1693).
