Mater Dolorosa is a photographic by Guido Calori, depicting lamentation of christ, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sculpture shows two figures in a tight embrace. One is draped in a loose robe, their head covered, while the other is naked, slumped forward with their eyes closed. The carving is rough in spots, with deep shadows and smooth curves where their bodies meet. The scene looks like a moment of grief, with one figure holding the other close. The way the light hits their faces makes them look tired and sad. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
