About the Item

This expressive 18th-century Spanish oil painting captures a profound moment of sorrow and transcendence: the Virgin Mary as Mater Dolorosa cradles the lifeless body of Christ beneath the cross. Seven swords pierce her chest, symbolizing the fullness of her grief. At the lower right, a small angel gently supports Christ’s hand-an unusual and tender gesture hinting at divine compassion. Rendered in the rich, dramatic chiaroscuro of the Spanish Baroque tradition, this painting reflects strong Sevillian or Castilian influence, both in palette and form. The dense, emotional intensity and folk devotional style suggest it was created for a private chapel or monastic cell rather than for public liturgy. The painting remains on its original hand-carved stretcher, with aged linen weave visible on the back. Patina, craquelure, and minor abrasions reflect authentic 18th-century wear. The work has not been relined or heavily restored. Dimensions: Height: 78 cm / 30.7 in Width: 54 cm / 21.3 in Condition: Structurally sound. Canvas shows signs of age with edge wear, craquelure, and old dust patina. Small punctures and signs of shrinkage around stretcher. No visible retouching. See photos for full assessment.
