"La Dolorosa" is a notable religious painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created in the 17th century. The work depicts the Virgin Mary in a state of sorrow, a representation known in Spanish as "Dolorosa," which refers to her suffering and grief over the Passion and Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Murillo, renowned for his religious works and his tender and emotive portrayal of biblical figures, imbues this piece with a profound sense of piety and compassion.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, which serves to highlight the Virgin's features and her expression of deep sorrow. Murillo's skillful rendering of the textures of skin and fabric, as well as his use of a warm, subdued palette, contribute to the overall pathos of the image. "La Dolorosa" is often praised for its devotional impact and its ability to evoke empathy in the viewer.

As with many of Murillo's works, "La Dolorosa" reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on emotional engagement and the promotion of Catholic doctrine through art. The painting is a testament to Murillo's mastery of the Baroque style and his particular focus on the human and approachable aspects of religious figures. It remains an important example of Spanish Baroque painting and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.

"La Dolorosa" by Murillo has been held in various collections over the centuries, and its provenance is a subject of interest for art historians. The work has been exhibited in prominent museums and has been the subject of scholarly research, contributing to the understanding of Murillo's oeuvre and the broader context of Baroque religious art.
