IMAGERY AND NATIVITY HALL

In this room we find a collection of artistic works that belonged to the church historically or were donated by private individuals to be exhibited in it. The primitive Alcancía de la Virgen is one of the jewels of this room, a work from the first third of the 18th century made of carved and polychrome wood with a small representation of the Virgen de las Nieves of the period; other works of note are the portable organ, donated to the Sanctuary by Julián Felipe, a resident of Havana, which, due to its shape, could date from the second half of the 17th century; and a small cantoral for the worship of the Virgen de las Nieves from the 17th century.
Among the paintings and sculptures, there is an example of the artistic beauty achieved by island art in the work of Bernardo Manuel de Silva, who worked intensively for this sanctuary from the end of the 17th century. This is the case of the Triptych of the Lords of Lillot and Zuitland, painted at the beginning of the 18th century, representing the Virgin of the Rosary with Saint Jerome and the hermit saint; and the attribution of the musician and adorer angels that belong to the main altarpiece, together with the angels in flight who drew the veil that hid the Virgin in her niche. The Infant Jesus in the Baptistery and Saint Peter Martyr in Verona are also attributed to him.
