La Inmaculada Concepción es un cuadro del artista español Mateo Cerezo, de hacia 1661-1662. Está pintado al óleo sobre lienzo y actualmente pertenece a una colección privada. Es una de las diversas versiones del tema de la Inmaculada que Mateo Cerezo pintó a lo largo de su vida, de las que hoy en día se conservan en torno a la decena.

Historia
Esta obra permaneció inédita hasta que fue dada a conocer por los historiadores del arte José R. Buendía y Ismael Gutiérrez Pastor en una monografía sobre Mateo Cerezo publicada en 1986. El cuadro se encontraba entonces en una colección privada en Bilbao (España). Con posterioridad el cuadro perteneció a la colección de la desaparecida Fundación Cultural Fórum Filatélico, hasta su venta en subasta en Sotheby's el 29 de abril de 2015.

Análisis de la obra
El cuadro representa a la Virgen María bajo su advocación de la Inmaculada Concepción. El 8 de diciembre de 1661 el papa Alejandro VII promulgó la Constitución Apostólica Sollicitudo Omnium Ecclesiarum por la cual se autorizaba por primera vez el culto religioso a la Inmaculada Concepción de María, es decir, a la creencia en el nacimiento de la Virgen libre del pecado original, aunque esta cuestión no se convirtió en dogma de fe hasta el año 1854. Esta autorización provocó una verdadera explosión de demandas de representaciones de la Inmaculada Concepción, también conocida como La Purísima. Los artistas de la época respondieron a esta demanda abordando el tema cada uno a su manera, aunque todos siguieron, con ciertas variaciones, una iconografía común que bebía de diversas fuentes y, en especial, de un versículo del Apocalipsis de san Juan que habla de «una mujer vestida del sol, y la luna bajo sus pies y una corona de doce estrellas sobre su cabeza» (Apocalipsis 12,1).

Según las fuentes documentales que se han conservado, Mateo Cerezo pintó a lo largo de su corta carrera numeras versiones de la Inmaculada Concepción, pero como ya se ha mencionado sólo algunas de ellas han llegado o están identificadas en la actualidad, en torno a una decena. Diversos aspectos distinguen a las diferentes versiones de Cerezo, entre ellos la mayor o menor utilización de elementos simbólicos, la postura de la Virgen, el acompañamiento angélico, el dinamismo de la composición, la riqueza de colorido, la técnica de aplicación de la pintura y, en general, la mayor o menor barroquización del cuadro, siendo la Inmaculada Concepción de hacia 1660 que conserva el Museo del Prado la más exuberante y movida.

La Inmaculada Concepción objeto de este artículo se organiza por medio de dos ejes, uno vertical, ocupado principalmente por el cuerpo de la Virgen, y otro diagonal, que atraviesa el lienzo de forma descendente, de derecha a izquierda, y queda definido por el manto flotante de la Inmaculada, la inclinación de sus piernas y la colocación de varios de los ángeles y querubines que forman la peana en la parte inferior. Este acompañamiento celestial es considerablemente más reducido que el de otras versiones de la Inmaculada pintadas por Cerezo, como la ya mencionada versión del Museo del Prado, y en esta ocasión únicamente portan lirios y azucenas, omitiéndose la representación de otros símbolos marianos o de la paloma que simboliza al Espíritu Santo. En comparación con sus versiones precedentes, la Virgen ha ganado en redondez. El rostro parece inspirado en el de la Inmaculada Concepción (Museo del Prado) que Rubens pintó en 1628, durante su segunda estancia en Madrid, y que fue regalada al rey Felipe IV por el marqués de Leganés. Se aprecia igualmente la influencia de los modelos concepcionistas del pintor José Antolínez.

La Virgen luce una aureola de tipo compuesto, formada por la combinación de una corona radial con otra plana que se le superpone. El halo se despliega en círculos concéntricos de diverso resplandor, comenzando por una irradiación luminosa en la parte más próxima a la cabeza y acabando por los querubines situados en círculo en el extremo superior del cuadro, que con sus posiciones en el lienzo dan forma al último anillo del halo. Varios de los querubines pintados en el cuadro llegan a fundirse, como si se disolvieran, en la luz dorada que envuelve a la Virgen. La parte inferior del lienzo la ocupa el dragón del Apocalipsis, vencido por María.

Las innovaciones de esta Inmaculada de Cerezo, en comparación con algunas de sus versiones anteriores, son también de tipo técnico, apreciándose una factura más suelta y el uso de la punta del pincel para dar pequeños toques, con pigmentaciones aplicadas como veladuras, especialmente visibles en las mangas de la túnica de María.

Por último, hay que mencionar que conservan dos copias antiguas de esta obra realizadas por el pintor Antonio Carnicero (1748-1814).

The Ashes of London (edition 2017)

Series: James Marwood & Cat Lovett (1)

London, September 1666. The Great Fire rages through the city, consuming everything in its path. Even the impregnable cathedral of St. Paul's is engulfed in flames and reduced to ruins. Among the crowds watching its destruction is Richard Marwood, son of a disgraced printer, and reluctant government informer. In the aftermath of the fire, a semi-mummified body is discovered in the ashes of St. Paul's, in a tomb that should have been empty. The man's body has been mutilated and his thumbs have been tied behind his back - the sign of a Regicide, one of those who signed Charles I's death warrant. Under orders from the government, Marwood is tasked with hunting down the killer across the devastated city. But at a time of dangerous internal dissent and the threat of foreign invasion, Marwood finds his investigation leads him into treacherous waters - and across the path of a determined, beautiful and vengeful young woman.… (more)

The Ashes of London. Interesting book that tends to wander a bit and is therefore a bit too long. The boring walks through the burned out streets are repeated again and again. I felt if the author described the coat of arms on the coach door in detail one more time I would throw the book at the wall. I would not rush to buy another of his books. ( )

I´m deducting points from this as a) it was evident who the murder was pretty much from the beginning of the novel, and b) there were huge swathes of text that rambled on incessantly. Having said that, I found this an interesting read if only for the historical context of the story - both the political stuation and the aftermath of the great fire. ( )

1666 and a fire starts in London, soon to devastate the medieval City of London. Watching the flames, a young man notices a boy in a ragged shirt who is standing so close as to risk to his life. When he pulls the boy to safety, he finds it is not a boy but a young woman. She bites him and escapes, though he intends only to help. And so are introduced the two key characters in 'The Ashes of London' by Andrew Taylor. But this is not a novel about the Fire of London, rather a political mystery involving murder in the turbulent years following the execution of King Charles I, the English Civil War, the Commonwealth and subsequent Restoration of King Charles II.
In the ruins of St Paul's a body is found, differing from other mortalities for its thumbs tied together behind the man's back. This is the sign of those who committed Regicide by signing the death warrant of Charles I. Though in hiding, these traitors are still active, lurking in the shadows.
The account of London burning is written vividly, so vivid I could imagine myself there, smell the charred timber and smoke. We see it through the eyes of two people. James Marwood, clerk, son of a traitor, is required by his superiors to investigate on their behalf. Catherine Lovett, a wealthy young woman lodges with the family of her mother but secretly searches for her father, a Regicide. Her position becomes precarious when her uncle seeks to marry her to a suitable man, one she detests. She flees and, at risk of discovery, Cat hides her identity with a false name. She is a bright woman who adapts to her changing circumstances, has a great presence of mind and is not afraid to defend herself when threatened. I particularly enjoyed her interest in architecture, something which brings her into the wider circle of Master Hakesby and Dr (Christopher) Wren as the new design for St Paul's takes shape. She has a skill of fine draughtsmanship, and helps Master Hakesby who suffers from the ague.
We learn the story as seen by Marwood and Cat; the author controls what we know and don't know. As they are aware of other things happening outside their circle, but not of the detail – of surviving traitors helping each other, of powerful men borrowing and lending money, of the scientifically-minded Charles II and his circle of influencers – so the reader realizes more is going on behind the scenes than is written on the page. Which adds to the mystery. This was a complex political time. We watch Marwood tread a delicate path as he tries to protect his elderly weak-witted Regicide father from persecution whilst also obeying his employer, Master Williamson, editor of The London Gazette. It is a time of whispers, gossip in the coffee houses, of secret meetings and spies standing behind screens the better to eavesdrop.
The paths of Marwood and Cat almost cross a number of times and as neither knows the true identity or intentions of the other, the reader is in a privileged position. When they do meet, the outcome is unexpected.
This is not a page-turning thriller or a crime novel, more a historical mystery. Taylor takes time to develop his characters and to show his location, the Restoration context is fascinating. Though a slow-burn I read this book quickly, finishing it and wanting to read its sequel, 'The Fire Court'. That is always a good sign.

This book revealed the killer early on and never explained the reasons for the murders that occurred. This kind of breaks the basis rule of writing a crime novel. ( )
DoToBu89 | Aug 30, 2018 |
James Marwood, a Whitehall clerk, watches the deadly fire of 1666 ravish St. Paul's. Catherine Lovett ("Cat") bites his hand, stealing his cloak. Not all the bodies found in the aftermath died due to the fire. A couple bear the marks of a murder. It's a time of political turmoil. Cat soon flees the city after attempting to gouge out the eye of a cousin. The main characters, while fairly well-developed, failed to make me care whether they came out alive or not -- in fact, I probably wished ill on some of the ones who did. The reader probably knew a bit too much about what was going on whereas a little suspense would have improved the book. While I'm not sorry I read it, I was surprised by the direction the book took. The mystery element was not as strong as the theme of politics during the time of Cromwell. I would prefer more mystery and less politics. ( )

I still possess the key to my family home in Jaffa. It shall pass to my children and grandchildren till our return. -Khamis Hamid In a refugee camp in Gaza
There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab Population. -Moshe Dayan
Galilee is revealed to me in its splendor, its hidden places and folds, it crimson smile and its green softness and its desolation. It was always bustling with man and beast. A strange stillness lies over all the mountains and is drawn by hidden threads from within the empty village. An empty village; what a terrible thing! Fossilized lives! Lives turned to fossilized whispers in extinguished ovens' a shattered mirror; moldy blocks of dried figs and scrawny dog, thin-tailed and floppy-eared and dark-eyed. At the same time–at the very same moment–a different feeling throbs and rises from the primordial depths, a feeling of victory, of taking control, of revenge, and of casting off suffering. You see empty houses, good for the settlement of our Jewish brethren who have wandered for generation upon generation. -From the dairy of Josef Weitz, Land official of the Jewish National Fund and Chairman of the first Transfer Committee, After his tour of depopulated villages late in 1948
I have seen maps from 1948, where hundreds of villages and towns which have disappeared are noted on maps distributed by Palestinians in the Diaspora. These maps are more dangerous than any bomb. -Uri Avner
Forgetfulness leads to exile, while remembrance is the secret of redemption. -Baal Shem Tov (inscription at Yad Vashem)

PART IV. GIVING HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR -- Chapters 14-15.
1. Seeking by Craft to put Him to Death. (Mark 14:1-2. Matthew 26:2-5; Luke 22:1-2.)
2. The Anointing. (Mark 14:3-9. Matthew 26:6-13; John 12:1-8)
3. Judas offers to betray Him. (Mark 14:10-11. Matthew 26:14-16; Luke 22:3-6)
4. The last Paschal feast. (Mark 14:12-21. Matthew 26:17-24; Luke 22:7-18; Luke 22:21-23)
5. The Lord's Supper instituted. (Mark 14:22-25. Matthew 26:26-29; Luke 22:17-20)
6. Peter's denial predicted. (Mark 14:26-31. Matthew 26:31-35; Luke 22:31-34; John 13:36-38)
7. The Suffering in the Garden. (Mark 14:32-42. Matthew 26:36-46; Luke 22:39-46)
8. The Betrayal and Arrest of the Lord Jesus. (Mark 14:43-52. Matthew 26:47-56; Luke 22:47-53)
9. Before the High Priest and the Sanhedrin. (Mark 14:53-65. Matthew 26:47-68; Luke 22:47-55; John 18:2-24.)
10. Peter's denial. (Mark 14:66-72. Matthew 26:69-75; Luke 22:56-62; John 18:17; John 18:25-27.)
1. Seeking by Craft to put Him to Death., Mark 14:1-2
His enemies were plotting, but over all was God and His eternal counsels. They were now ready "to do whatsoever Thy hand and Thy counsel determined before to be done" (Acts 4:28). The Servant is to die as the true passover lamb and He who had ministered in such a perfect way is to give His life a ransom for many. They had resolved it should not be on the feast day. But God's will demanded that it should be on that day; and so it was.
2. The Anointing., Mark 14:3-9
The woman is not mentioned by Mark. It was Mary of Bethany, who sat at His feet when He had come to her house and who wept at His feet when Lazarus had died. She alone had grasped the meaning of the Lord's announcement concerning His death and resurrection. She did not go to the grave as others did. She anointed His body for the burial. What love there was in her heart! How it must have delighted His heart when she did this act of faith and love.
3. Judas offers to betray Him., Mark 14:10-11
The anointing hastened Judas to betray Him (see John 12:5-6).
4. The last Paschal feast., Mark 14:12-21
First there was the preparation (Mark 14:12-16) and then the feast itself (Mark 14:17-21). What calmness and dignity is seen in all He does! He knew all what awaited Him. During the feast He announced the coming betrayal. Awful are the words coming from such lips, "Good were it for that man if he had never been born." The same is true of every human being who rejects the Lord Jesus Christ and dies in sin.
5. The Lord's Supper instituted., Mark 14:22-25
It is His own supper, the blessed memorial feast. "Do this in remembrance of Me." They did not know then what it meant. But when the Holy Spirit had come they broke the bread. The passover was the memorial of the deliverance of the people out of Egypt and reminded them of the blood that was sprinkled. A better blood was soon to be shed and a greater deliverance wrought by the Lamb of God. A blessed privilege to carry out His request (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).
6. Peter's denial predicted., Mark 14:26-31
The hymn they sang was composed of Psalms 115:1-18; Psalms 116:1-19; Psalms 117:1-2; Psalms 118:1-29. With what emotion of soul He must have sung with His disciples. The shadow of deepest agony and death was upon Him and yet the fullest praise flowed from His lips. He announced the scattering of the sheep and His own smiting by the hand of God. What must it have meant for Him, when He said with His perfect knowledge, "I will smite the shepherd." That smiting, which took place on the cross, is the heart and mystery of the atonement. Peter's denial is then predicted.
7. The Suffering in the Garden., Mark 14:32-42
In Gethsemane we are face to face with the most solemn event in the life of the Servant-Son, save that hour, when He hung on the cross, forsaken of God. What was His suffering there? No saint can ever fathom its depths. He did not shrink from death, nor was the agony on account of the physical sufferings He knew were to be His lot; nor was Satan, as some foolishly teach, ready to slay Him. All such statements are dishonoring to Him. He was not in danger of death in Gethsemane. What was the cup He dreaded? The Sinless One, who knew no sin, was now soon to be made sin for us. God's face upon which He had ever looked was soon to be hid. And what was it when at last He was made sin for us on the cross? One sentence gives us the answer, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?"
8. The Betrayal and Arrest of the Lord Jesus., Mark 14:43-52
He surrenders Himself as the willing victim. Peter was ready to fight and cut off the ear of the high priest's servant. Mark omits the healing for he is to picture the Servant in His suffering and all relating to power is now out of place. In John's Gospel the Lord said one word, "I am," and those who came to arrest Him fell backward to the ground. John was guided by the Spirit of God to make a record of it. It could have no place in Mark's Gospel. They all forsook Him and fled. But only Mark tells of a certain young man, who followed and then fled naked. The young man may have been Mark himself.
9. Before the high priest and the Sanhedrin., Mark 14:53-65
We behold the Servant now delivered into the hands of man and behind man stood Satan. Man's wickedness and Satan's power are there, and in the midst, in solitary grandeur, stands the perfect Servant-Son. Mark tells us exclusively that the witnesses brought against Him did not agree. The Holy Spirit continues to hold Him up as the perfect Servant, in whose character and service not a flaw could be detected. But He witnesses the good confession and upon that blessed Word of Truth as it came from His lips He is condemned. Then they condemned Him to death and man's vile hatred energized by Satan cast itself upon the blessed One.
10. Peter's denial, Mark 14:66-72
The Lord had given the true testimony and Peter followed with his shameful denial. Mark gives what the other two evangelists omit, the cock crowing twice. The lessons from Peter's fall are simple. He had to pass through this terrible experience to become broken down and learn to know his own weakness. And how we all need to know that we are in ourselves good for nothing; "in my flesh there dwelleth no good thing."
