More info

Michelangelo's Pietà is a marble sculpture created by Michelangelo Buonarroti and preserved in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.

Dating between 1497 and 1499, the Pietà is considered the first masterpiece of the artist, then in his early twenties, as well as one of the greatest works of art that the West has ever produced; it is also the only one that bears the author's signature on the shoulder band that holds the Virgin's mantle (MICHAEL.A[N]GELVS BONAROTVS FLORENT[INVS] FACIEBAT, "The Florentine Michelangelo Buonarroti did it").
