Madonna in Glory 1665 - 1675

Carlo Dolci's "Madonna in Glory" (1665-1675) presents a captivating portrait of the Virgin Mary, enveloped in a flowing blue cloak. The soft, muted palette and intricate details create a sense of quiet contemplation and reverence. The sorrowful expression on Mary's face, paired with her outstretched hand, suggests a plea for divine intervention or a moment of profound grief. This oil painting, a testament to Dolci's masterful portrayal of religious figures, evokes deep emotional resonance and remains a compelling example of Baroque art.
