About the Item

This 17th-century oil on canvas from Spanish Colonial Peru features a striking depiction of Our Lady of Sorrows. The Virgin is shown with a somber expression, her hands gently crossed in a gesture of sorrow and contemplation. The detailed craftsmanship captures the poignant moment of the Virgin’s suffering, with her heart pierced by a sword—a symbol of her profound grief over the Passion of Christ. The soft, radiating light surrounding her head emphasizes her sanctity and spiritual presence. The painting is a fine example of Baroque religious art from the colonial period, characterized by its vivid yet muted color palette, particularly the Virgin’s rich red robes contrasting with her dark mantle. In the background, subtle architectural details evoke a sacred and historical atmosphere, possibly suggesting a church or monastic scene. The artwork is housed in an ornate, carved and gilded wooden frame, typical of the period, which complements the solemn beauty of the piece. Visible signs of craquelure and wear are consistent with its age, adding authenticity and character to this devotional masterpiece. This unique portrayal of Our Lady of Sorrows is not only a work of deep religious sentiment but also a culturally significant piece, ideal for collectors of colonial religious art and sacred iconography.
