There is even a tradition in the history of Western art known by the name of its subject, Mater Dolorosa, or Sorrowful Mother, which refers to Mary in relation to the sorrows in her life. An example of this would be Michelangelo’s Pietà, the sculpture in St. Peter’s Basilica, in Vatican City, that depicts a moment not mentioned in the gospels, but that we can imagine occurred, when the body of Jesus, after it has been taken down from the cross, is cradled by his mother as she beholds him.
