Adolf Josef Pohl, Mater Dolorosa Bust, 1920s, Bronze

About This Piece

This magnificent bust embodies the captivating evolution of the traditional theme of the Mater dolorosa. Designed to go beyond the boundaries of the religious framework, this work captures maternal pain in a profoundly human and universal way. Inspired by the artistic explorations of the 16th century, the expressive and poignant face of this depiction reflects a transition to a secular and emotional approach.

Adolf Josef Pohl masterfully captured the emotional essence of the Mater Dolorosa without explicit reference to religiosity, while preserving the symbolic and cultural depth inherited from centuries of artistic history. This bust fits harmoniously into the contemporary dialogue of visual arts, dialoguing with modern works such as Käthe Kollwitz's Civil Pietà or Picasso's famous Guernica fresco.
A rare piece that transcends eras and borders. Pohl's "Mater Dolorosa" bust is not only a remarkable artistic acquisition but also a living testament to the continued evolution and emotional resonance of this timeless theme. Don't miss this unique opportunity to enrich your collection with a work that speaks to the soul and spirit.
