Nederland, 1901
Rechthoekige porseleinen tegel van hard porselein, fijn geschilderd naar het voorbeeld van Antonio Allegri da Correggio (Italiaans, 1489–1534), met een voorstelling van de rouwende Maria over het lichaam van Christus. Uitgevoerd met expressieve arcering en emotionele intensiteit. In originele eikenhouten lijst met verguld binnenkader. Achterzijde met gedrukt fabrieksmerk van Société Céramique, Maastricht.

Note:
Olga Petit was active around the turn of the 20th century, producing high-quality porcelain paintings after Renaissance masters. Société Céramique in Maastricht, best known for its tableware production, also commissioned fine painted plaques around 1900 for the luxury market. This interpretation of Correggio’s deeply moving Sorrowful Mother reflects the fin-de-siècle fascination with devotional art, rendered with great technical finesse on porcelain.
