Antique 19th-Century “La Vierge de Madrid” – After Bartolomé Esteban Murillo – Berlin Print W. Korn – Museum-Style Devotional Image. Offered here is a beautifully atmospheric 19th-century European devotional print, titled. “La Vierge de Madrid, “. After the celebrated Spanish Baroque master Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. Printed in Berlin by W. Korn, this work embodies the soft luminosity and tender spirituality that made Murillo one of the most beloved painters of sacred subjects. The Composition & Story This deeply moving scene presents the Virgin Mary seated with the Christ Child, who gently engages with the young John the Baptist, identified by his cross-staff and the lamb at his feet-a symbol of Christ’s future sacrifice. At their side is Saint Elizabeth, watching with reverence. Above, the heavens open: God the Father extends His blessing, surrounded by angels, while a radiant dove-symbol of the Holy Spirit -descends in divine light. The scene captures a rare moment of serenity and foretelling, uniting innocence with destiny in a composition rich with theological symbolism. Murillo’s influence is unmistakable: soft modeling, glowing highlights, and an emotional warmth that elevates this image beyond mere reproduction into a timeless devotional presence.
