Detail, Mary Magdelene; The figure of Christ is mourned by John the Evangelist (the "Beloved Disciple"), the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene. John is rendered with feminine features, indicating his youth. He resembles the sculpture of St. John Evangelist by Juan de Valmaseda (Balmaseda) in the Cathedral of León. Originally this was a lower panel in a large retable. Source: Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, SMB Digital Database [website]; http://www.smb-digital.de/ (accessed 7/13/2013)
