Spanish term or phrase: resolvía en la pirámide
La pintura y la estatuaria egipcias carecen de perspectiva y tienen esa forma particular que las caracteriza porque más que a la expresión autónoma del cuerpo debían atender a la estilización impuesta por la estructura subjetiva arquitectural que se resolvía en la pirámide. Igual ocurre con la estatuaria gótica, cuyo talle se alarga muchas veces más allá de la proporción del cuerpo humano, atendiendo a las normas del edificio para el cual fue tallada

English translation:resolved in the pyramid
Explanation:
The stylization imposes a tension that is resolved in the pyramid. While tension as such is not specified, it is implied, IMHO.

determined by the (style) of the pyramid / established in (by) the silhouette (form) of the pyramid


Explanation:
The picture in the following link with the Sphinx, shows how the silhouette of the sculpture "follows" the "structure" of the pyramid, and it is "determined" or "established" by it.

So, yes, the pyramid "resolves" the forms of the paintings and sculptures, which have to "integrate" with it.

Even the palm trees in this painting follow the "pyramid" form

The "pyramid" form of this painting is also illustrative,
