Iconographical study of the frescoes of the cupola of the Basílica de la Virgen de los Desamparados (Valencia), painted by Antonio Palomino between 1701 and 1704. The author analyses the historical and allegorical aspects of the ensemble. The historical aspect is represented by miracles of the Virgin depicted on cartouches simulating monochrome bas-reliefs. The allegorical aspect appears in personifications of certain invocations of the Litany of Loreto (Salus, Refugium, Solatium and Auxilium), two others refer to the Virgin of the Destitute (Diligentia and Pietas), and as a corollary, the emblem of the crow feeding its young with its own blood, under the motto Desertorum Protectio. This article continues and completes “La Cúpula de la Basílica de la Virgen de los Desamparados de Valencia (I): El ámbito de la Gloria” (AEA, nº 317).
