"Virgin of Seven Sorrows from the Dome Altar, 1499" is a notable late 15th-century religious artwork by the Northern German painter Absolon Stumme. This piece is part of a larger altarpiece known as the Dome Altar, originally located in the Mariendom (St. Mary's Cathedral) in Hamburg. The artwork is significant for its representation of the Virgin Mary, depicted in a sorrowful state, reflecting on the seven sorrows that she endured according to Christian tradition. These sorrows include the prophecy of Simeon, the flight into Egypt, the loss of the child Jesus in the temple, Mary's meeting with Jesus on the Via Dolorosa, the Crucifixion, the taking down of Jesus' body from the cross, and his burial.

Created in 1499, the painting is a prime example of Northern Renaissance art, showcasing the detailed and emotive style characteristic of the period. Absolon Stumme, the master behind this work, was a prominent figure in the Hamburg art scene at the time and is known for his contributions to the development of Northern German painting. The "Virgin of Seven Sorrows" is particularly noted for its intricate iconography and the use of rich colors, as well as its devotional impact, which would have been an essential aspect of religious art intended for a cathedral setting.

The artwork has historical significance not only for its artistic qualities but also for its cultural and religious context. It reflects the devotional practices of the time and provides insight into the role of Marian iconography in late medieval piety. As part of the larger Dome Altar, the "Virgin of Seven Sorrows" would have played a central role in the liturgical and spiritual life of the cathedral's congregation.

Today, the "Virgin of Seven Sorrows from the Dome Altar" is recognized as an important work in the oeuvre of Absolon Stumme and is valued for its historical and artistic contributions to the study of Northern Renaissance art. It continues to be a subject of interest for art historians, scholars of religion, and the general public, offering a window into the rich tapestry of late 15th-century German art and spirituality.
