Marian Room

          The three most impressive paintings in this room are the work of Cristóbal de Villalpando (ca. 1649–1714). They may have formed part of a series about the life of Mary based on the apocryphal gospels. The canvases were masterfully executed, and with the stylistic baroque touch so characteristic of the artist: for example, the costumbrista details, the difficult posture and the fabric’s color and movement.
