Description
"the earliest and best-known sculptue made by Michelangelo.
La Pietà (1499) is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture by the renowned artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. The statue was made for the cardinal's funeral monument, but was moved to its current location, the first chapel on the right as one enters the basilica, in the 18th century.
This famous work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The theme is of Northern origin, popular by that time in France but not yet in Italy. Michelangelo's interpretation of the Pietà is unique to the precedents. It is an important work as it balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism. The statue is one of the most highly finished works by Michelangelo." Vikipeda...
Note: I just went Vatican to see this sculpture...And put no trick to my photograph. Please forgive me but, I can not effort that beauty in another way...ıt as so neat so there is not much to add it

He has no more earthly pain. It is done. She feels the unimaginable pain of a mother who loses her son. He will rise in Glory. He will feel the pain in our hearts now. But He will smile upon us as he looks down from Heaven, full of love for us.
