Housed in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, The Pietà is a work of Renaissance sculpture by one of the greatest artists of all time, Michelangelo. This elegant work of art attributes the body of Jesus placed on the lap of the Virgin Mary after his crucifixion. This was a special work of art even during the Renaissance period because, at the time, multi-figured sculptures were rare. Michelangelo carved the Pietà from a single slab of Carrara marble and it is the only work Michelangelo ever signed.
