| Description | The lecture was focused on the emotions that a visitor to the pilgrimage sites had or could experience and how the sculptures that evoked emotions should have looked like. We encounter, for example, crying, suffering or laughing statues, which further deepen these emotions by various gestures, but also by their setting in various sceneries, whether in churches or pilgrimage chapels. It was also outline what the difference between the ideal of how piety should be practiced and common practice might have been. Using examples such as the Sacro Monte di Varallo, the holy stairs in the parish church of Krupka and the Passion scenes from Vraclav (Kralíky), an attempt was to show the relationship between the object - in our case the sculptural work - and its viewer - in this case the visitor to the pilgrimage sites, the pious person in the church.
