About the piece
Painted in 1844 by Antonio María Esquivel, this work captures the patron saints of Seville with the emotional depth characteristic of Spanish Romanticism. The composition features a delicate interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the soft drapery of the figures and the ethereal presence of cherubs descending from the clouds above.
