Our Lady of Sorrows Florentine Plaque – 9×12" | After Carlo Dolci | Made in Italy

This exquisite Our Lady of Sorrows Florentine plaque reproduces the devotional masterwork of Carlo Dolci (1616–1686), the Florentine Baroque painter celebrated for his deeply emotive sacred portraits. Measuring 9×12", it is handcrafted in Italy by Goldscheider of Vienna using the traditional Florentine plaque technique — a process that yields rich, luminous color and fine surface detail that prints and reproductions simply cannot match. Hang it in a home chapel, prayer room, bedroom, or office as a focal point for meditation on Our Lady’s Seven Sorrows, or present it as a treasured gift for a Marian feast day, a bereavement, or any occasion calling for a work of sacred art.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Florentine plaque?

A Florentine plaque is a traditional Italian art form in which a sacred image is reproduced on a rigid backing using a process that yields deep, rich color and fine surface detail — far superior to a standard print. The technique has roots in the workshops of Florence and is associated with devotional art of the highest quality.

Who was Carlo Dolci, and why is this image significant?

Carlo Dolci (1616–1686) was a Florentine Baroque painter celebrated for his intensely devotional sacred portraits. His depiction of Our Lady of Sorrows — eyes cast heavenward, expression suffused with grief and surrender — is among the most spiritually moving Marian images in Western sacred art. This plaque brings that masterwork into your home.

What is the devotional significance of Our Lady of Sorrows?

Our Lady of Sorrows commemorates the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary — from the prophecy of Simeon to the burial of Christ. Her feast day is September 15. Devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows is especially meaningful for those experiencing grief, loss, or suffering, as Mary’s compassionate intercession is sought in times of sorrow.

How should this plaque be displayed or hung?

At 9×12" and approximately 3 lbs, this plaque is well-suited for wall display using a standard picture hook or sawtooth hanger. It is ideal for a home chapel, prayer room, bedroom, office, or hallway. We recommend hanging it at eye level for the most prayerful effect.

Is this a good gift for a bereavement or sympathy occasion?

Yes — Our Lady of Sorrows is one of the most appropriate Marian images for bereavement, sympathy, and grief support. This plaque makes a deeply meaningful and lasting gift for a funeral, memorial, or for someone walking through a season of loss.
