17th-Century Mannerist School, Mater Dolorosa
A fine 17th-century depiction of the ‘Mater Dolorosa’ dressed in a red gown and holding a white cloth. The Mater Dolorosa is an image of Mary as she was while standing by the side of Jesus’ cross.
Throughout the centuries, ‘Our Lady Of Sorrows’ has taken various forms depending on cultural and religious nuances. She’s often depicted in a blue gown with seven swords - one to represent each of the ‘Seven Sorrows’ that Mary suffered.
But here, in this unusual depiction, we see her dressed in red with a single sword piercing her heart. The single sword is said to represent Simeon’s prophecy (Luke 2:22-38) that “thy own soul a sword shall pierce.”
It’s also interesting to note the 12 stars above Mary’s head that relate to the Immaculate Conception as these suggest that the painting has a Catholic heritage.
In terms of its style, it seems to be inspired by the 16th-century Mannerists, such as Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530) and El Greco (1541-1614). The Mannerists elongated and distorted the human form to heighten emotion and add further expression to their works.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 34” x 27½” / 87cm x 70cm
Year of creation: c. 1650
Provenance: Germany
Condition: Generally good. Craquelure throughout but the paint layer is stable under varnish following multiple restorations. The canvas has been relined in around 1850, which, coupled with the thick coarse nature of the original canvas, leads us to a date of around 1650-1700. Brave Fine Art is a boutique art dealership based in the picturesque Malvern Hills, England. Established in 2017, our clients include private collectors and interiors designers throughout the UK, USA and Canada.
We tend to focus on decorative art that captures the imagination - from monumental 17th-century portraits through to characterful vintage landscapes. Every piece in the collection has an interesting story to tell and we work hard to discover the hidden history behind each one.
You may have seen us mentioned in popular magazines such as Vogue, Livingetc and Homes & Gardens. It’s always exciting to spot a piece we recognise in a beautiful home or place of work.
Do feel free to contact us as we’re always happy to share further information. We also offer a finding service if you’re working on a project for a client or need that special piece for your home.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
