Now you can enjoy a copy of Michelangelo's masterpiece, the Pieta sculpture made in 1499, with our bronzed resin version. The Pieta sculpture is the only art piece Michelangelo signed and continues to be viewed by millions each year in St. Peter's Basilica. Several aspects of the Pieta sculpture make it an important work, such as: 1) Mary is depicted as young and beautiful which was not normally done at that time, and 2) Christ's face is serene to show communion between man and God. Our 6.25 inch, lightly hand-painted Pieta sculpture includes all the magnificent detail of the original, classic beauty.

Did you know that during Michelangelo's time, Italy did not depict Mary with the dead Jesus, but Pieta sculpture themes were done in Northern art like France? A French Cardinal, a representative in Rome, commissioned Michelangelo to do the Pieta sculpture for his funeral monument. This inspiring Pieta sculpture is not only spiritually significant, but can also touch the heart of any mother (or father) that has lost a child. In addition, the presence of such a powerful rendition of the Pieta sculpture would enhance any setting whether a home, personal devotional area, church, or office. Comes gift boxed.
