About Artwork: (1760) "The Virgin Mary appears to the patron saint of Spain, Saint James the Greater, as he prays beside the Ebro River. He extends his arms ready to receive the statuette of the Virgin and Child and the column of jasper being carried by a swirling mass of putti (winged infants). The Virgin instructed Saint James to build an oratory to house the statuette on the spot where he had his vision. In the late seventeenth century it was held at the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of El Pilar in Zaragoza. Bayeu’s painting was inspired by Antonio González Velázquez’s fresco of 1753 in the dome over the central chapel of the Basilica, which is compositionally similar but different in style. The painting might seem like a sketch for a larger painting, but it is probably an independent work of art intended for private devotion. The reverse of the canvas is signed and dated, which would be unusual for a preparatory sketch." - (National Gallery of Art, London)
