About the Item

A modern aquatint etching on paper titled “Sunt Lacrimae Rerum (There Are Tears in Things)” from the “Miserere” suite by Georges Rouault. Created between 1917 and 1923, published as a suite in 1948. Known for its spiritual and emotive content, the series combines themes of human suffering, redemption, and dignity with Rouault’s signature expressionist style. This work features a monumental, sculptural figure rendered in bold chiaroscuro, conveying intense emotional weight and physical presence. Rouault’s masterful technique and somber palette echo religious iconography and the pathos of classical tragedy. From a private collection. Dimensions: 31”h x 24.5”w x 2”d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Full condition reports are available upon request. Georges Rouault (1871–1958) was a leading French expressionist whose works are held in major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Louvre, and the Tate Modern. The Miserere series is widely regarded as one of the 20th century’s most profound achievements in printmaking.

Sunt lacrimae Rerum - from "Miserere" by G. Rouault - 1926
By Georges Rouault
Located in Roma, IT
Wonderful original etching with aquatint realized by Georges Rouault between 1917 and 1923, published as a suite in 1948. Sheet in perfect conditions. The artwork is part of the important suite Miserere, considered as the most important religious graphic of XX century. Sunt lacrimae Rerum represents an episode of Christ's passion with a kneeling figure looking upwards. Miserere suite is divided in two themes: religious and profane; one is linked to Christ's passion and the other is dedicated to the human event, to the pilgrimage of pain on earth, made even more tragic by war. In the 58 original plates, Rouault lingers on the conditions of humanity. Like few other contemporaries, Rouault represents human figures placing him at the center of an absurd and squalid theater. Interesting the use of contrasts and the shapes of the figures with black outlines. Published in the Catalogue "Georges Rouault: Oeuvre Gravé", by Isabella Chapon. Georges Rouault (Paris, 1871) has been an interesting exponent of French...
