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. Details Medium: Oil on glass (reverse painting technique) Date: 18th century Dimensions: 40 × 31 cm Frame: Original or period-appropriate giltwood frame with decorative foliate motifs Condition: Excellent period condition with minor expected wear; vivid preservation of paint and gilding Provenance: Private European collection An exceptional example of 18th-century ecclesiastical art, ideal for collectors of religious iconography, reverse glass paintings, or Marian devotionals.

Early 17th Century Roman School Praying Madonna Painting Oil on Canvas
Located in Milan, IT
Roman school, late 16th-early 17th century Praying Madonna Oil on canvas, 81 x 69 cm Frame 83 x 95.5 cm A divine whiteness reverberates with vibrant luster on the maphorion of the present Virgin. The palpable iridescence that structures the thin rosaceous garment, woven with the same fresh light, produces a slight rustle when she takes her hands off. The Madonna in fact takes a prayerful pose, opening her palms to underline her fervent ecstatic intention; the white neck is rendered with perishable fullness of pigments, like the hands, perfectly alive, and the very shiny eyes. With fine shrewdness the artist of the present styles the Virgin's hair with thin white ribbons, exacerbating the purity. An evocative light falls gently on the bust, a materialized sign of divine glory. The present can be traced back to the late Mannerist climate that prevailed in the capital after the emanation of the Tridentine council (1545-1563). The late Mannerist licenses that can still be seen there, such as the intense lyricism in the stylistic code adopted by the artist, are innervated in the new basic catechetical intent, which at the end of the century produced a certain figurative rigorism. The present, however, still responds to that extraordinary Roman dynamism that raised the capital to a bulwark for the entire mannerist lesson, matched only by a second artistic center, the Florentine one. The engaging carriage of the Virgin reflects the contemporary examples of Giuseppe Valeriano (1542-1596), a Jesuit painter, returning in the Marriage of the Virgin of the Roman Church of Jesus, as well as in the Madonna of Sorrows in the Recanati Altarpiece, equal ardor. But it is in the Assumption of the Virgin painted in four hands with Scipione Pulzone...
