"The Virgin Mary meditating", by Francisco Zurbarán returns to the Cathedral museum


The Jerez Cathedral has received "The Virgin Mary meditating" painting that is shown in the Cathedral museum. The painting was lent during 9 months to participate in two international expositions, in Italy and Belgium.
"The Catalogue of Zurbarán" was the title of the Italian exposition which collected around 50 paintings of the most important museums of Europe as, the Prado, Louvre or The National Gallery of London; and also, some paintings of Andalusia as "The Virgin Mary meditating".
The painting is one of the jewels of the Cathedral museum and it is an important work of the Spanish Baroque. Zurbarán also has some works in the Charterhouse of Jerez.
