Oil on Glass Depicting Our Lady of Sorrows — 18th Century
About the Item
Oil on Glass — "Our Lady of Sorrows," 18th Century, Reverse Glass Painting
A refined and emotionally evocative 18th-century devotional painting depicting Our Lady of Sorrows, executed in the intricate reverse glass painting technique. The Virgin is portrayed with graceful melancholy, her hands clasped in prayer, a sword piercing her heart—a traditional symbol of the prophecy of Simeon and the deep suffering endured by Mary as the mother of Christ.
Rendered with delicate brushwork and luminous color, the image captures the solemn dignity and maternal compassion central to this revered iconography. The Latin inscription at the base, "Amaritudine plena sum et cor meum moerens" (I am full of bitterness and my heart mourns — Lamentations 1), underscores the devotional intensity of the work.
