About the Artwork

Title: The Immaculate Conception
Artist: Guido Reni
Date: 1627
Collection: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Painted in 1627 by Guido Reni, one of the most celebrated artists of the Italian Baroque, this masterpiece radiates divine purity and celestial grace. The Blessed Virgin stands in prayer upon a crescent moon, surrounded by angels and luminous clouds that part to reveal the glory of heaven. A crown of twelve stars encircles her head, symbolizing her queenship and sinless conception.

Spiritual Reflection

This painting invites us to contemplate the mystery of Mary’s immaculate grace, revealed in the words of the Archangel Gabriel: “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you.” From the first moment of her existence, she was filled with divine favour, prepared by God to become the pure dwelling place of His Son. Reni’s vision captures her radiant holiness, clothed in light and lifted in prayer, a reflection of the soul made perfect through grace.

“And he came to her and said, ‘Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you.’”
Luke 1:28
