EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows, ca 1525-1528, is a captivating print that showcases the exquisite talent of Bernaert van Orley. This early Netherlandish artwork, found in the esteemed collection of Musee des Beaux-Arts et d'Archeologie in Besancon, France, depicts the sorrowful motherhood of Virgin Mary. Painted with meticulous detail and vibrant colors on wood using oil technique, this masterpiece portrays the profound grief experienced by Mary as she witnesses her son's crucifixion and suffering. Known by various names such as Our Lady of Piety or Mater Dolorosa, she stands as an icon representing empathy and compassion for all who endure pain. The artist skillfully captures each moment of sorrow through seven distinct scenes depicted around Mary. From Jesus' presentation at the temple to his entombment after crucifixion, every panel evokes a deep sense of anguish and maternal love. The viewer can almost feel Mary's heartache radiating from her expressive face. This painting not only serves as a religious symbol but also exemplifies Van Orley's mastery in creating emotionally charged compositions. His attention to intricate details like delicate drapery and subtle expressions adds depth to this portrayal. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 16th-century Netherlands artistry, we are reminded of both human suffering and resilience. Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows continues to inspire contemplation and reverence for centuries-old artistic traditions.
