  1. This is The Immaculate Conception (also known as La Colosol) by Spanish painter Bartolome Esteban Murillo (1650). The original painting is huge, something like 14 feet by 9 feet, I think. Absolutely beautiful.

  2. Thanks, I have a degree in art and I know a fair amount of paitings, but there are so many Mary Queen of Heaven paintings that it is not possible to look at them all.
