Description
The Sorrowful Mother
Pieta one of the three common artistic representations of a sorrowful Virgin Mary, the other two being Mater Dolorosa (Mother of Sorrows) and Stabat Mater (here stands the mother).The other two representations are most commonly found in paintings, rather than sculpture, although combined forms exist.
The Piet�eveloped in Germany (where it is called the "Vesperbild") about 1300, reached Italy about 1400, and was especially popular in Central European Andachtsbilder.[4] Many German and Polish 15th century examples in wood greatly emphasise Christ's wounds. The Deposition of Christ and the Lamentation or Piet�orm the 13th of the Stations of the Cross, as well as one of the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin.
Although the Piet�ost often shows the Virgin Mary holding Jesus, there are other compositions, including those where God the Father participates in holding Jesus
