Description: | Ildephonsus (d. 667), a Benedictine, was Archbishop of Toledo. He wrote a treatise entitled De Virginitate Perpetuae Sanctae Mariae, in which he defended Mary's purity. As a reward for his defence of the Immaculate Conception, in a vision Mary herself bestowed on Saint Ildephonsus a rich episcopal cope. The Immaculate Conception did not become dogma until the nineteenth century. This painting was probably produced in Spain during the seventeenth century by an unknown artist who possibly worked in Madrid. | Subjects: | religion (Virgin Mary St Ildephonsus) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Spanish School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8923... | Go to resource |
