EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Mater Dolorosa" by Carlo Dolci, a renowned Italian artist of the Baroque period. Created around 1655, this painting is currently housed in the prestigious National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo. The image depicts the Virgin Mary, known as Mater Dolorosa or Our Lady of Sorrows, immersed in profound grief and compassion. Inspired by biblical narratives from the New Testament such as the Descent from the Cross and Lamentation over Christ, Dolci skillfully captures Mary's sorrowful expression and her tender embrace of Jesus' lifeless body. Belonging to the Florentine school of art, Dolci masterfully employs oil on canvas to create a strikingly realistic portrayal. The entombment of Christ forms a poignant backdrop for this scene, emphasizing both Mary's anguish and her unwavering devotion. This fine art piece invites viewers to reflect upon themes of suffering and redemption while admiring Dolci's meticulous attention to detail. Through his brushstrokes, he conveys not only Mary's personal anguish but also universal emotions that resonate with audiences across time. As we gaze at this remarkable print, we are reminded once again why Carlo Dolci remains an influential figure in art history – his ability to capture human emotion so vividly continues to captivate generations.
