Description
Sculpture After Michelangelo "Pieta" - (4.6lbs)
Our sculpture is a meticulous reproduction of the renowned Pieta Statue created by Michelangelo. It captures the essence of the original masterpiece with intricate detail. What sets this sculpture apart is the depiction of the Virgin, who appears unusually young and delicate compared to the typically portrayed older and sorrowful Mary in most Pietàs. This unique interpretation adds a distinctive touch to the artwork. Moreover, it is the only sculpture by Michelangelo that bears his signature, a response to rumors that visitors mistook his creation for the work of a competitor sculptor, Cristoforo Solari. Michelangelo's signature, "MICHAELANGELUS BONAROTUS FLORENTINUS FACIEBAT," meaning "Michelangelo Buonarroti the Florentine did it," is carefully carved into the sculpture. The Pieta statue holds great significance as an iconic symbol of the Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica, representing beauty, reverence, and spiritual devotion.
