Mater Dolorosa – copy after Hans Memling – Uffizi Gallery, Florence

The Virgin prays with tear-stained cheeks, wrapped in a white veil and dark mantle, the image of Our Lady of Sorrows. This copy of a lost work by the Flemish master Hans Memling, painted around 1500 by an Italian artist, belonged to Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici and has been in the Uffizi since 1774.
