Virgen de la Milagrosa
Virgen de la Milagrosa stands beside Plaza de San Gonzalo in Seville’s Triana neighbourhood. The artificial-stone Virgin rises above the square on a tall pedestal of exposed brick. Its public setting places Marian devotion among the everyday streets and activity of the neighbourhood.
José Lemus García created this early work during his career as a sculptor and imaginero. The statue belongs to Seville’s tradition of Marian images serving religious and social life. A restoration in 2006 preserved the sculpture after time and weather affected its outdoor setting.
Fresh bouquets gather at the feet because local residents regularly bring flowers to the image. The nearby Rodrigo de Triana statue shares Lemus García’s artistic origin and stands in Plaza de la Milagrosa. Together, the two works connect Triana’s public squares with local sculpture and neighbourhood devotion.
