Mater Dolorosa

1482 - 1484. Oil on panel.
Room 051A

A devotional image of the Virgin Mary wearing blue and white, with a halo. She looks directly at the viewer, transmitting her sorrow at the death of Christ. The bust is completed with a gilded inner frame that contrasts with the greater volume and expressionism of the Virgin´s face. These aspects reveal the painter´s evolution towards more modern forms. This work attributed to Paolo de San Leocadio seems to confirm his evolution as an artist, though he is little known due to the scarcity of surviving, dated and documented works by him. It is coupled with The Savior (P02693), which is also in the Prado Museum´s collections.
