Belgium. Flanders. Bruges. Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows. 16th century. SN-PB Pilgrim badge (7.51g, 29mm). Bruna -; van Beuningen -. Old cabinet tone. Choice extremely fine. From a European private collection; former S.P. collection In Catholic imagery, Mary is sometimes portrayed in a sorrowful and lacrimating affect, with one or seven long knives or daggers piercing her heart (according to the Simeon's prophecy). The devotion to the Mary's Seven Sorrows in Flanders owed its origins and development to Jean de Coudenberghe. In 1492, he founded in Bruges a confraternity of Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows, later approved by Pope Alexander VI. It is to this confraternity, in a Book of Miracles (1510), that we owe the first representation of Our Lady with the seven daggers.
