About the piece
This mid-18th-century oil painting depicts the Virgin of Sorrows, or Mater Dolorosa, a classic subject of Catholic devotion. She is shown in a moment of quiet grief, her heart symbolically pierced by a sword, while her radiant golden halo and star-studded indigo mantle create a striking contrast against the dark background, highlighting the masterful use of light and color.
