This 16th-century sculpture by Gregorio Pardo depicts the Virgin in her Assumption. Originally from the lost Convent of Santo Domingo el Real in Madrid, it exemplifies the formal elegance and serene expressiveness typical of 16th-century Spanish devotional art. Pardo’s work reflects the period’s emphasis on spiritual transcendence and the Virgin’s pivotal role in Catholic devotion, embodying both artistic mastery and religious fervor.
