La Pietà Vatican City: Michelangelo's Iconic Sculpture & Meaning

4.8 (1460)

Michelangelo's La Pietà, housed in St. Peter's Basilica, is a breathtaking marble masterpiece depicting Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus. Carved when Michelangelo was just 24, its incredible realism and emotional depth are unparalleled. The delicate drapery, the serene yet sorrowful expression on Mary's face, and the poignant stillness of Christ's body evoke profound contemplation, making it an eternal symbol of love, loss, and faith.
