An etching by Elisabetta Sirani depicting the Virgin Mary and angels mourning the instruments of Christ's torture. The work showcases Sirani's skill in conveying emotion through line and composition.
This etching by Elisabetta Sirani (1638-1665) depicts the Virgin Mary surrounded by weeping angels, mourning the instruments of Christ's torture. Sirani, a prominent figure in the Bolognese School, was known for her prolific output and expressive style. Her works often feature strong emotional content and dynamic compositions. She was one of the first women to achieve international recognition as an artist. The composition centres on the Virgin, seated and draped in heavy robes, her face conveying sorrow. Around her, cherubic angels express grief through various gestures. The instruments of Christ's Passion, including the cross, crown of thorns, and nails, are scattered at the Virgin's feet, serving as stark reminders of the suffering endured. The etching technique, with its fine lines and cross-hatching, creates a dramatic contrast between light and shadow, heightening the emotional impact of the scene. The overall effect is one of solemn contemplation and deep sorrow.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
