| | In the thirteenth century, however, Christ's agony and the sufferings of those who witnessed his death began to be emphasized. | | | Becoming popular in Christian devotion around the ninth century, the image of the crucified Christ was commonly depicted during the next four centuries as alive and often crowned, thus evoking both his human suffering and the eternal triumph of his conquest of death. | | | This group is remarkable because of its impressive size and its survival as an ensemble, including two witnesses, the disciple John and the Virgin Mary. |
