This is an extra large and very impressive antique Victorian lithograph print of "The Immaculate Conception" featuring The Blessed Virgin Mary w/ over a dozen angels surrounding her! I believe the full title of this picture is, "The Immaculate Conception of the Venerable Ones, or of Soult". Although this print is neither signed by the artist, nor actually titled, I do know that this famous picture was originally painted in 1678 by the great listed artist, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1618-1682). Today, the original painting currently hangs in a Museum at The Prado of Madrid in Spain. As for this gorgeous antique print, it is very hard to find and its large size is definitely rare. The picture is bright and colorful and the details are just beautiful. This print is in excellent original condition, except for some very minor particles under the glass, which does not take away from the beauty of this piece or the overall appearance. The print is in its original wood and gesso frame. The frame is massive in size and very decorative with bold gesso designs throughout. The frame is in excellent original condition and retains its original gold finish. It has the old glass and old wire hanger. Circa 1900.
