This Pieta is an example of the most popular Gothic image types.
It is superbly structured so as to emphasize the Virgin's gaze as She tries to balance Her big, awkward Baby's corps on Her knees.
Two separate ideas, maternal love and death, are combined in the Pieta to form a three-dimensional cult-image that could be placed on the altar.
The sense of heavy weight combined with the materiality of the textures and liquid tears visible in the image made the sense of touch all-pervasive in the Pieta.
