From some scenes of Crucifixion containing several characters for example, here, the thieves), the three main characters (crucified Christ, Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist) are often extracted to make an autonomous image, more interiorized, an invitation to individual meditation, known as the Calvary.

In the scenes of the Last Judgement, she is on her knees on the right of Christ judging, imploring his mercy.

If the prayer of the faithful is so often dedicated to the Virgin, that is because they hope she will be their defender when the judgement day comes.
