Mattia Preti, Madonna of Sorrows (Wignacourt Museum, Rabat, Malta)

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Mattia Preti, Madonna of Sorrows (Wignacourt Museum, Rabat, Malta) "The Madonna of Sorrows is a rather atypical work by Preti. This work was painted on a wood panel, which is not usual for the artist. It is also a work of a rather small dimension, which was not commonly done by Preti. These two elements make some believe that the Madonna of Sorrows could have been produced by the artist for his own personal use. The artist could therefore easily carry it around with him, almost like some people would do with at holy picture. This work is also painted in monochrome, which was rarely seen in any of his commissioned works. One can spend hours looking at this painting, as the passionate and grief-stricken Madonna of Sorrows draws the viewer in, notwithstanding the simplicity with which this painting was produced." [1]
