About the piece
Dating to 1624, this oil on canvas depicts Our Lady of Sorrows (Mater Dolorosa) in a traditional devotional style. The Virgin Mary is shown with a sorrowful expression, hands clasped, and a sword piercing her heart—a reference to the prophecy of Simeon—set against a dark, atmospheric background that emphasizes her glowing, rayed halo.
