The Piedad with Canon Liuís Desplà was commissioned by Canon Lluís Desplà for a chapel in Barcelona Cathedral from the Spanish Renaissance artist Bartolomé Bermejo.[1] It depicts a piedad, or pietá, the scene in which the Virgin Mary mourns over the body of her son, Jesus Christ. The painting is notable for its inclusion of stylistic elements from Flemish art, as well as the artist's rigorously empirical observations of animals and plants.[1]
