This famous work of art depicts the body Jesus on the knees of his mother of Mary after being crucified. The theme is from the northern origin. Michelangelo’s interpretation of Pietà is unprecedented in Italian sculpture. This is an important job because it balances the ideals of classical beauty and naturalism in the Renaissance.
Church religious marble michelangelo pieta sculptures is a Renaissance sculpture artwork by Michelangelo Buonarroti, it is located in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City. This is the first of many works of the same subject by the artist. The statue was commissioned by Rome on behalf of the French cardinal Jeande Bilhères, who was a representative in Rome.
Michelangelo used different ways of thinking to portray the Virgin as a girl. He said: “The Virgin Mary is a symbol of purity, lofty incarnation and sacred things, so it would surely be able to maintain a youthful and beautiful face forever. Her eternal youth and noble image symbolizes the ideal of mankind to pursue beautiful things.
The pyramid is used in the composition, and the robes not only set off the outline, but also can reconcile the conflict between the composition and the actual proportion. The surface of the statue was carefully polished and smoothed. The signature of Michelangelo on the chest of the Virgin is his only signature work.
