This early 19th-century oil painting by Hungarian artist Joszef Schmidt (1810-1875) depicts the Mater Dolorosa. It’s after a work by Italian artist, Guido Reni (1575-1642). Schmidt was primarily active in Vienna and known predominantly as a painter of history and biblical subjects.
With hands clasped in prayer and eyes directed upwards, the Virgin conveys a deep sense of sorrow for the loss of her son. It’s an iconic portrayal, rendered with delicate brushwork and vivid colouring. The handling of the drapery, in homage to the original, is both deft and convincing. Her blue cloak and golden head covering, brought forward by the dark background. It carries a level of Baroque intensity yet softened by the ethereal grace of the subject.
Reni, together with his workshop, produced numerous versions of the Mater Dolorosa. An inscription refers to 'Prag', so presumably, the original was on view in Prague in 1829. Schmidt studied at the Vienna Academy and exhibited in Budapest and Vienna from 1834.
Inscribed on the reverse and held in a later gilt frame.

Early 19th-Century Central European School, Christ The Saviour, Oil Painting
Located in Cheltenham, GB

This early 19th-century central European oil painting depicts Christ The Saviour standing atop an orb and carrying a cross over his left shoulder.
An unusual composition, Christ’s rather striking posture is perhaps more ‘Saturday Night Fever’ than it is sacramental. However, the iconography is archaic and derived ultimately from New Testament illustrations dating to the Middle Ages. Depictions of orbs are usually symbolic of the universe, while the cross alludes to redemption. Hence, it’s a visual representation of Christ as the Saviour of humanity.
