Sulla scultura
Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (Our Lady of Sorrows) is based on a Gospel verse in which Mary learns that her son would die for the sins of mankind. When she presents the infant Jesus in the temple, she is told, “And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that out of many hearts thought may be revealed” (Luke 2:34-35). The fluid lines of the Virgin’s robe lead the worshiper’s eyes to her hands clasped in prayer.
