Identification of the various graphic sources that inspired a very substantial proportion of the reliefs and Marian iconography that the sculptor Josep Pujol i Juhí created in the chapel of Our Lady of the Colls in the church of Sant Llorenç de Morunys prompts a series of reflections on international print culture and its resonance in painting and sculpture workshops in Catalonia in the second half of the 18th century. The study analyses in detail the peculiar way in which Josep Pujol interpreted engravings by the brothers Joseph Sebastian and Johann Baptist Klauber of the Marian celebrations of the Litany of Loreto, the Salve Regina and the Magnificat; and also the relationship between the sculptor’s altarpiece in the church of Sant Pere de Matamargó and the series of the apostles in the basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano by the team of Francesco Faraone Aquila, Vincenzo Franceschini and Giovanni Girolamo Frezza (or with the later version by Pietro Leone Bombelli). The article also notes how the international distribution of engravings is important to our understanding of the work of the painter Francesc Pla, el Vigatà, and sheds light on a singular rococo episode of the early 19th century: the pictorial decoration of the delightful church of Sant Pere de Madrona
