EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Mater Dolorosa, a deeply sorrowful depiction of the Virgin Mary. Created between 1480 and 1500 by the renowned artist Dieric Bouts the Elder, this oil on panel painting measures 38.7x30.3 cm and is housed in The Art Institute of Chicago. The image portrays a grieving Virgin Mary, her face etched with profound sadness as tears stream down her cheeks. With folded hands raised in prayer, she seeks solace and strength during her time of immense sorrow. This poignant portrayal evokes empathy from viewers who are drawn to witness her anguish. Bouts masterfully captures the raw emotion that emanates from this iconic religious figure. Through his skilled brushwork and delicate use of color, he brings forth an atmosphere of deep mourning and spiritual contemplation. The Mater Dolorosa has long been revered for its ability to evoke strong emotions within those who encounter it. It serves as a powerful reminder of human suffering and resilience, inviting us to reflect on our own experiences of grief and find solace in faith. As we gaze upon this exquisite print, we cannot help but be moved by the timeless beauty captured within its frame—a testament to both Bouts' artistic prowess and the enduring power of religious art throughout history.
