Description

Piet�s 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).[1][2] The other two representations are most commonly found in paintings, rather than sculpture, although combined forms exist.[3]

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
