O soše
Mourning Saint John, carved in Castile and León around 1250–1275, once stood with Mary beside a central crucifix. The sculpture is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Both accompanying figures preserve their original paint, allowing the medieval decorative colours to remain visible. The patterns recall early textiles. Although made in the thirteenth century, the figures retain stylistic features associated with the later twelfth century. The missing central image would have shown Christ on the cross. On view in room 106B, Romanesque & Gothic Sculpture.
Slovy muzea
These figures of the Virgin and Saint John once formed part of a Crucifixion group that would have originally included a figure of Christ on the cross shown at center. Fortunately the original polychromy of the two figures has been preserved, affording the viewer a rare opportunity to appreciate a rich medieval decorative color pattern suggestive of some early textiles. Though they date to the 13th century, the two figures reflect a late 12th-century style.
