"Virgin of the Antigua and the Seven Sorrows from the Convent of Saint Paul in Seville" and "Calvary with the Holy Virgin of the Sorrows, Saint John the Evangelist and Mary Magdalene" (Possibly for a religious procession in Seville).
Pair of oil paintings on canvas. 71 x 53 cm y 71,5 x 54,5 cm.
We would like to thank Carlos Rodríguez Morales (@Vretratos) for his information on the correct identification of the painting of Mary. As he explains, " it is the Virgin of the Antigua and the Seven Sorrows from the convent of Saint Paul in Seville, which is now the Royal Parish Church of La Magdalena, where it is still kept.
Apart from the sculpture’s quality, it also had many worshippers. This way of painting a portrait of a statue while it is being paraded in a procession, with the Seven Sorrows depicted in medallions and the seven large swords, coincides with other paintings. There is one in the Royal Monastery of Saint Jerome in Granada and another in the Convent of Saint Isabel in Seville."
