Michelangelo
Pietà
Pietà, created by Michelangelo in his early twenties, depicts Mary as a young woman holding the dead Christ in her arms. It is a remarkable technical piece; the flesh under Christ’s shoulder just above Mary’s right hand seems to be soft and pliable. It is also a work of great beauty, capable of eliciting a deeply emotional response in the viewer.
