"The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin: Mother of Sorrows" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created around 1495–1496. This piece is part of a larger series that depicts the seven traditional sorrows that the Virgin Mary endured during her life, as described in Catholic devotional practices. Dürer's representation of the Virgin Mary's sorrows is a testament to his mastery of emotion and detail, which is evident in the intricate line work and expressive faces that characterize his engravings and other works.

The artwork is a woodcut, a medium that Dürer revolutionized through his technical skill and innovative approach. "The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin" series showcases his ability to convey complex narratives and deep emotions within the constraints of black and white imagery. Each sorrow is represented in a separate panel, with the central panel often being the most elaborate. "Mother of Sorrows," as the centerpiece, captures the Virgin Mary in a moment of profound grief, surrounded by symbols and scenes that reflect the specific events foretold by the prophecy of Simeon and later experienced by Mary, such as the Flight into Egypt, the Crucifixion, and the Burial of Christ.

The work is significant not only for its artistic excellence but also for its cultural and religious impact during the time of its creation. It served as a devotional image that would have been used for private contemplation and prayer, helping the faithful to empathize with the Virgin's suffering and to meditate on the themes of sacrifice and redemption central to Christian doctrine.

Dürer's "The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin: Mother of Sorrows" is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important example of Northern Renaissance art. It reflects the artist's deep religious convictions and his innovative contributions to the woodcut medium. The work remains an influential piece of devotional art and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and historical significance.
