Helpless at the loss of her son, Mary covers her face with her hands. They gleam in the dark. The Munich prince of painters, Franz von Stuck, infused the traditional pietà with great drama. His isolated figures are perpendicular to each other and personify the contrast of life and death. Christ’s naked corpse appears much more three-dimensional and more real than mantled, schematic Mary in her anguish. The Christian subject serves purely as a pretext to examine existential sensations, such as misery and sorrow.
In this bas-relief, I have tried to pay homage to that painting.
