Antonio Maragliano's "Virgin of the Immaculate Conception" is a stunning example of Baroque sculpture. This wood carving, created between 1710 and 1720, depicts the Virgin Mary standing on a crescent moon, with a crown of stars above her head. The sculpture showcases the artist's skill in capturing the dramatic and expressive qualities of the Baroque style, evident in the Virgin's flowing robes and the dynamic composition. The artwork's significance lies in its depiction of the Catholic doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, a belief in Mary's sinless birth. The sculpture is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire awe and devotion.
