Historically dated to around 1525, the Pietà was presumed to have been made for the church of the Château in La Terrasse in the comté of Comminges, south of Carbonne, a town southwest of Toulouse. Sculptures from the Languedoc region, including the present group, reveal a strong Northern influence; the sense of monumentality and volume here is indebted to Claus Sluter, the sculptor to the Dukes of Burgundy.
