Charles Davis Apr 16, 2018:
Beware of translating "pictórico" as "pictorial" It's usually incorrect and unsuitable, as it certainly is here. "Pictórico" means painted or related to painting, but pictorial means related to pictures and doesn't specifically imply painting at all.

"pictórico
1. adj. Perteneciente o relativo a la pintura.
2. adj. Adecuado para ser representado en pintura."

"pictorial
Of or expressed in pictures; illustrated"

I found out that the "conjunto pictórico" in this case is a series of wall paintings. The translator whose CV I was translating preferred "pictorial ensemble" to any of the other options suggested. I suggested she also cnsider just using "wall paintings" in this case. There do seem to be some good references to "pictorial ensemble".

Thanks for all the suggestions.

What about 'pictorial pieces'? Maybe...
Diane Kenyon Apr 14, 2008:
I think collection can still work: "the collection of pictorial works at..", or leave it out altogether as I see Álvaro has done. :)
Ross Andrew Parker (asker) Apr 14, 2008:
I don't think collection is the right idea. A "conjunto arqueológico", for example is an "archaeological ensemble". In the case of this "conjunto pictórico" the pictorial works are part of a structure at a particular site (a chapel).

I think your original idea is best.

The key word here is "conjunto", and I think "esemble" is a very nice way to put it, more palatable,for instance than "pictorial set".
Example sentence:

He is credited with restoring the pictorial ensemble at the chapel.

Yes, I suppose you could always add group, series, collection...'conjunto' very often poses this same problem but in the case you refer it doesn't really seem to add much meaning.

Good luck,

It looks like Los Dolores is a collection of some sort.

Ah, going by your links I don't think my first answer quite fits. It's referring to a body of works, both painting and sculpture, by the same artist in the church. Hmm. Something like a 'set', but that doesn't sound good in this context. Can't think of a well-known term in English for this.

Sorry, Ross, I'm drawing a blank on this. I can't come up with any term better than the one you had to start with, 'pictorial ensemble'. Maybe describe this in a different way?

composite painting

In the sense of a group of paintings having something in common.

Drawn to the drama of color, many of Marybeth’s creations are ***composite paintings*** that tell stories of the metamorphosis of the human soul.
