The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin
Albrecht Dürer1495 - 1496
Old Masters Picture Gallery, Dresden State Art Museums
Dresden, Germany
The depiction of the altarpiece The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin is the first major work that Dürer created after he settled in Nuremberg as a master. Its style is still related to the late Gothic tradition. The seven paintings, which show scenes from the life of Christ, were originally mounted on a single panel grouped around the figure of the Mater Dolorosa (Alte Pinakothek, Munich) and presumably formed a winged door of an altarpiece in the Schlosskirche in Wittenberg.
