The sacred pain staged: The Seven Sorrows of Mary, a poignant vision by Bernard van Orley
In this composition, Bernard van Orley constructs an intense visual narration where the characters stand out against a sober background, illuminated by a palette of ochre and deep blue tones. The scene, rhythmically animated by gestures and gazes, reveals mastery of perspective and ornamental detail that confer a restrained and solemn emotion. The finely worked drapery and contained expressions emphasize the gravity of the theme, while the spotlight highlights moments of dramatic tension. This art print of The Seven Sorrows of Mary faithfully reproduces the sobriety and psychological depth of the original work.

Bernard van Orley, master of Northern Renaissance
Bernard van Orley, active in the early 16th century, embodies the dialogue between Gothic tradition and Renaissance Italian influences. Painter and composer of images for stained glass windows and tapestries, he mastered integrating the finesse of Flemish details with a humanist sensibility, influenced by Raphael and the Brussels workshops. His religious works combine iconographic clarity and figure elegance, making him a major figure in sacred art in the Southern Netherlands. The richness of his compositions and the quality of van Orley's drawing have marked the stylistic transition of his era, justifying the interest in each reproduction and in the painting of The Seven Sorrows of Mary displayed in our collections.
