About the Item
A 17th-century carved applewood sculpture of the Lady of Sorrow is a representation often associated with Catholic icons, particularly depicting the Virgin Mary in moments of grief. It is an exceptional example.
Intricately carved from applewood, known for its fine grain and warm colour, the sculpture features the Lady wearing a headscarf, symbolising modesty, and a cloak draped over her flowing robe, which enhances the emotional weight of the sculpture .
The long, flowing robe reflects the fashion of the period and adds to the sculpture's grace. The folds and drapery of the robe are intricately carved, showcasing the skill of the artist. Her hands are crossed over her heart, a gesture that conveys sorrow, compassion, and mourning. This pose is often seen in religious art to express deep emotional states, allowing viewers to connect with the figure on a personal level.
In the 17th century, religious art flourished, especially in Catholic regions of Europe, as artists aimed to inspire faith through their works. The Lady of Sorrow served as an important figure for devotion.

View All16th Century Venetian Renaissance Cedar Wood Cassone
Located in Hoddesdon, GB
A large 16th century Venetian cedar. wood Cassone is an exquisite example of the craftsmanship characteristic of the Italian Renaissance period, featuring beautifully detailed scenes dating to circa 1550-1580.
Made from cedar wood, the chest has a deep, rich patina. Cedar wood was prized during the Renaissance for its durability and resistance to decay, making it an ideal choice for fine furniture intended to last for generations.
In Renaissance Venice, cassoni were a standard part of a bride's dowry among the nobility and wealthy merchant classes. Venice was a thriving trade hub with a population of about 150,000 in the mid-16th century, and the upper classes commissioned these chests .
The decoration of the chest is particularly breathtaking. Its surface features intricate figural panels that depict various scenes, which include historical, mythological, and symbolic representations. Among these are 16th century knights, chariots, mythical beasts, and lions. The designs are expertly silhouetted against a recessed ground, giving a three-dimensional quality that enhances their visual impact.
The use of punch-work, a decorative technique involving the stamping of the wood with a mesh-like pattern, adds texture and depth to the surfaces. This technique is indicative of the meticulous attention to detail for which artisans in Italy were known during this period.
