Pietà

Wood Sculpture at the "Cloisters" site of the Metropolitan Musem of Art

(Lindenwood, Polychromy, and gilding)

Originally from Jagst-Neckar region, 1435-1440
from the Cistercian convent of Himmelpforten Bavaria, near Wurzburg.
The lyrical naturalism of the figure heralds the beginnings of the German late Gothic style.
