Description

This magnificent bust embodies the captivating evolution of the traditional theme of Mater Dolorosa. Designed to transcend the boundaries of religious frameworks, this work profoundly captures maternal pain in a human and universal way. Inspired by artistic explorations of the 16th century, the expressive and poignant face of this representation reflects a shift toward a secular and emotional approach.

Adolf Josef Pohl masterfully captured the emotional essence of Mater Dolorosa without explicit reference to religiosity, while preserving the symbolic and cultural depth inherited from centuries of artistic history. This bust harmoniously fits into the contemporary dialogue of visual arts, engaging with modern works such as Käthe Kollwitz's Civil Pietà or Picasso's famous Guernica mural.

ARTE-MUNDI invites you to discover this rare piece that transcends time and borders. Pohl's Mater Dolorosa bust is not only a remarkable artistic acquisition but also a living testament to the ongoing evolution and emotional resonance of this timeless theme. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to enrich your collection with a work that speaks to the soul and spirit.
