PietàMichelangelo

This marble sculpture (1498–99) shows the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ after the Crucifixion. Carved by Michelangelo at age twenty-four, it unites idealized form and anatomical accuracy with restrained pathos. Commissioned for St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pietà exemplifies High Renaissance harmony between human beauty and divine suffering.
