Divine Encounters: Madonna's Sorrow (Anguish of a Mother)

This portrait aims to capture the profound grief and unimaginable pain experienced by Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the wake of her beloved child's death. Mary's anguished expression portrays the depths of her sorrow, her face filled with a haunting mixture of sorrow, anguish, and unfathomable loss. The tears of blood symbolize the pain she endured during her lifetime, known as "the seven sorrows of Mary" but also tears being wept over the sins of humanity. The piece evokes a profound sense of empathy and reflection for the hardest thing a parent can endure; the loss of a child.
