Seville - Church - Cathedral of Santa Maria de la Sede - Interior - Chapel - Scalas - Virgin of Granada - Andrea della Robbia

Magnificent is the set of the Virgin of Granada in the Scalas Chapel (measures 2.50x1.80m) made of baked and polychrome clay, the background being cobalt blue and milky white figures, work attributed to the 19th century Florentine workshop of Andrea della Robbia .

 

In the altarpiece where the Virgin of Granada is located we see her complete image, which has the Child, seated on her right leg offering her a pomegranate, a symbol of redemption. The Virgin receives the crown carried by cherubs and to her right and left Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Sebastian, Saint Dominic de Guzmán and Saint Casilda, found on the frieze of the altarpiece, little heads of winged angels and on the curved tympanum of the pediment the Christ, Man of Sorrows in the center, the Virgin and Saint John. Another gem of the many that this unbeatable Sevillian Cathedral contains
