EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Virgin in Mourning" by an anonymous French School artist from the 17th century. The sculpture, made of wood and textile, can be found in the Eglise Sainte-Marie de Corneilla-de-Conflent in France. In this poignant depiction, we see the Virgin Mary dressed in a flowing white lace gown, her face etched with sorrow and suffering. Her heart is pierced by daggers, symbolizing her immense grief as she mourns the loss of her son Jesus Christ. A crown rests upon her head, representing her status as Queen of Heaven. The composition is strikingly dramatic with its contrasting elements - black swords and knives surround Mary's figure while flames flicker behind her. These symbols further emphasize the depth of pain she endures as a mother who witnesses her son's crucifixion. The craftsmanship exhibited in this sculpture is truly remarkable; every detail has been meticulously carved to evoke a sense of profound emotion and empathy for Mary's anguish. Through this artwork, viewers are invited to reflect on their own experiences of sorrow and find solace in knowing that even divine figures like Mary have endured great suffering. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this timeless masterpiece through their lens, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
