La conversión del lobo de Gubbio

Camarón y Bonanat employs the light, fluid brushwork characteristic of late Rococo, rendering figures with soft modeling and delicate color transitions. The palette combines warm earth tones with brighter accents on the woman's red top and green skirt, creating a lively visual rhythm that guides the eye across the scene.

The painting was produced by José Camarón y Bonanat, a Valencian artist born in Segorbe in 1731. After a career that included drawing, painting, and engraving, he died in 1803. The work entered the Prado’s holdings during the 19th‑century consolidation of Spanish national collections, where it remains on display.

Camarón y Bonanat worked primarily in Valencia, where religious narratives were in demand for churches and private devotion. This piece reflects the period’s interest in combining devotional subjects with a theatrical, almost genre‑like presentation, aligning with broader European trends toward more accessible, emotionally resonant religious art.
