DESCRIPTION
Spanish school, XIX century.
"Dolorosa".
Carved and polychrome wood.
Presents losses in the polychrome.
Measurements: 83 x 40 x 35 cm.
This sculpture belongs to the tradition of the "Vírgenes vestideras", an artistic genre very representative of the Spanish religious imagery from the XVII to XIX centuries. The figure carved in polychrome wood stands out for its detailed expressiveness, where the face reflects a deep dramatism and a contained feeling of pain, characteristic of the Dolorosas.
The polychromy, combined with the carefully elaborated textile clothing, underlines the duality between the tangible materiality and the spirituality transmitted by the image, creating a piece of great visual and emotional impact. This technique was key to generate a more direct and sensitive link with the faithful, in addition to highlighting the technical mastery of the Spanish workshops of the time.
