Escuela Italiana (XVII-XVIII) - Magdalena Dolorosa
Italian School (17th-18th century) - Mary Magdalene of Sorrows
This moving oil painting represents the Virgin of Sorrows, one of the most iconic representations of Christian sacred art. The image shows the Virgin with an expression of deep sorrow, dressed in a dark cloak and holding a golden dagger over her chest, symbolizing the pain of the Passion and Death of Christ. Her gaze towards the sky and the delicacy in the execution of her face convey a strong emotional and devotional charge.
The work stands out for its use of chiaroscuro, with dramatic lighting that enhances the expression of suffering and the richness of the details in the hands and clothing. The color palette focuses on dark and earthy tones, reinforcing the sense of solemnity and introspection. This type of representation is typical of Baroque and academic art, influenced by the Spanish and Italian traditions in religious painting.
An ideal piece for collectors of sacred art, museums or devotees who wish for a work with great spiritual meaning and quality pictorial execution.
Dimensions: 56 x 68 cm.
