Mater Dolorosa After Guido Reni - 19th Century German School

This profoundly moving 19th-century German School oil painting is a remarkable reproduction of Mater Dolorosa, originally created by the celebrated Italian Baroque master Guido Reni. Painted during the second half of the 1800s by an unknown yet skilled artist, this devotional portrait expresses deep emotional and spiritual resonance.

The Virgin Mary is depicted in a moment of sorrowful reflection, her eyes turned upward in quiet suffering - a timeless representation of Mater Dolorosa, or "Mother of Sorrows." The soft chiaroscuro lighting and rich earthy palette evoke the signature style of Reni, faithfully capturing the spiritual depth and serene anguish of the original composition.

Executed in oil on canvas, this piece is housed in a 20th-century giltwood frame, intricately carved with classical leaf motifs. The contrast of the luminous face against the dark background draws focus to the Virgin’s expression, making this painting a powerful focal point for any sacred, classical, or antique-themed interior.
