"Vir Dolorum (Man of Sorrows)" is a notable work of art created around 1420 by the German painter Master Francke, who was active during the early 15th century in Hamburg. This painting is a poignant representation of the theme "Man of Sorrows," which depicts Christ in a state of suffering after the crucifixion, yet before the resurrection, showcasing his wounds and often surrounded by instruments of the Passion. Master Francke's interpretation is distinguished by its intense emotional expression and detailed iconography, which was characteristic of the Northern European Gothic tradition.

The artwork serves as a devotional image, designed to evoke empathy and contemplation on the sufferings of Christ. "Vir Dolorum" by Master Francke is particularly noted for its vivid portrayal of pain and solemnity, rendered through a refined use of color and meticulous attention to detail. This piece is an exemplary reflection of the religious and artistic sentiments of the late medieval period in Northern Germany, and it contributes significantly to the understanding of Gothic art's narrative and stylistic developments.

Master Francke's "Vir Dolorum" is preserved and displayed in the Kunsthalle Hamburg, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. The painting not only highlights Master Francke's mastery over religious themes but also provides insight into the socio-cultural context of the 15th-century Devotio Moderna movement, which emphasized personal piety and the emotional involvement with the life of Christ.
