Die trauernde Muttergottes mit den Leidenswerkzeugen Christi is a 1713 unspecified by Domenico Zanetti, depicting Saint Cecilia, held at Bavarian State Painting Collections.
The painting depicts a serene scene of a woman, possibly a saint, with an angel beside her. The woman is dressed in a long robe, while the angel wears a flowing garment with large wings. The angel's right arm is outstretched, and the woman holds a white cloth with a crown of thorns in her lap. In the foreground, the woman's face is tilted upwards, gazing at the angel. The angel's facial expression is calm, with their eyes cast downward. The overall atmosphere of the painting exudes a sense of peace and tranquility. This painting, held at the Alte Pinakothek, showcases the artist's skillful use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality.
Domenico Zanetti (1694–1712) was an artist, born in Bologna.
