Sorry for cross-posting this to so many lists...
I'm an undergraduate beginning work on depictions of mourners at the
Crucifixion in 15th c. Netherlandlandish paintings. I'm familiar with von
Simpson's article about Mary's compassion and co-suffering with Christ, and
I am interested in exploring similar ideas with other witnesses, esp. the
other Marys, but St. John as well. Were late medieval theologians -- or
anyone else -- writing about the *function* of these people in a Crucifixion
scene -- the same kind of compassion and co-suffering as Mary, examples of
pious behavior, etc. Thanks!
