pulled by ropes to be deposed;
- on the first floor you can see the mighty arms pull and loosen the ropes to lay gently
the body of Jesus;
- the same floor you can see Madonna in that attitude of supreme
"Pietà " and holds his hand to his head bowed
Jesus
- higher up you notice a pious woman who cries desperately, burying his face
with your hands;
- all harmoniously and dynamically powerful sculpture based on the toes of Jesus
