Some features which this artwork relates to in the Renaissance Period are:
It shows great detail into the sorrow that Mary faced wen she saw the dead body of Jesus her son.
It helped people of that time understand what the scene in the bible would look like as people were curious into the way things were highlighted.
People wanted to know what the scene was in real life with an insight into what it looked like.
4. Discuss your personal response to the message, potrayed by this artwork.
I believe that this image shows us all the amount of love that our parents, particularly our mothers have for us and the compassion that they have for us. It also tells us that they care for us and we mean the world to them. This relates to the artwork as it shows the love that Mary had for Jesus. This artwork also gets us to look at the sorrow and express the emotions that Mary had for Jesus as she held his dead corpse.
