Virgin of Carmen

Work made by Manuel Gómez-Moreno González to be given as a gift for the marriage of his friend Manuel Rodríguez Bolívar and Carmen López Romero. In the composition, a rigorous symmetry and a careful arrangement of the cloths coexists with a marked and solid corporeality of the forms, somewhat hard in its contours. The profusion of angels in different postures and the folding of the cloths, evidenced, respectively, the use of a child model and the use of fabrics on mannequins. / Extracted from: MOYA MORALES, J. : Manuel Gómez-Moreno González, painter.
