Description from the seller
Contemporary painting of “La Dolorosa,” depicted in close-up and vertical format, where the face of the Virgin Mary occupies almost the entire surface of the painting, conveying very intensely the pain and compassion inherent to this devotional iconography.
Subject: Face of the Virgin of Sorrows, wrapped in a white veil and a dark mantle over a deep red background, with an uplifted gaze and moist eyes, according to the tradition of Mater Dolorosa, which emphasizes Mary’s suffering before the Passion of Christ.
Style: Contemporary sacred art, with a marked expressive character; the modeling of the face, the furrowed brows and the treatment of light recall the Spanish Baroque Dolorosas reinterpreted with a current pictorial language.
Technique and support: Oil or acrylic on canvas (according to file), mounted in a plain gold frame that reinforces the devotional character of the image.
Dimensions
With frame: 37 × 47 cm.
Painting (visible canvas): 30 × 40 cm.
Ideal piece for collectors of religious art and for prayer spaces or private devotion areas dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows.
