"The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin" or "Mother of Sorrows" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created around 1496 and 1497. This piece is a woodcut series that depicts the seven traditional dolors, or sorrows, that the Virgin Mary is said to have endured during the life and death of her son, Jesus Christ. The series is a testament to Dürer's technical skill in woodcut design and his ability to convey complex emotional narratives through this medium.

The work is comprised of a series of seven individual woodcuts, each illustrating a specific sorrowful event from the life of Mary, as prophesied by Simeon in the Gospel of Luke (2:34–35). These events include the Prophecy of Simeon, the Flight into Egypt, the Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple, Mary Meets Jesus on the Way to Calvary, the Crucifixion, the Deposition (or Lamentation), and the Burial of Christ. Dürer's depictions are rich with detail and symbolism, reflecting both the religious fervor and the artistic innovation of the time.

The series is notable for its emotional depth and the way in which Dürer captures the sorrow and suffering of Mary. Each woodcut is carefully composed, with Mary often centrally placed, guiding the viewer through the narrative of her son's Passion with a poignant and reflective expression. The use of stark contrast and intricate lines in the woodcuts are characteristic of Dürer's style and contribute to the dramatic effect of the series.

"The Seven Sorrows of the Virgin" is considered an important work in Dürer's oeuvre, exemplifying his mastery of the woodcut technique and his ability to engage with religious subject matter in a deeply personal and evocative manner. The series has been influential in the history of art, particularly in the Northern Renaissance, and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its devotional impact.
