École Espagnole (XVIII) - Mater Dolorosa

Elegant academic Mater Dolorosa, following the style conventions that prevailed in Spain at the end of the 18th century, cleanses the sacred image of excessive late Baroque disgust, and instead presents the Virgin as a Kantian reflection of the pure phenomenon. The exquisite execution of the hands, and the honest expression of the emotions that can be read in the face, manage to unite, even if it may seem paradoxical, popular religiosity with the ideals of the Enlightenment. - Image dimensions without frame: 75 x 58 cm / 97 x 80 cm with a luxurious frame - It comes from a private painting collection in Valencia. - Good general condition.
