"Pieta"

1. Mary appears too young. Mary was middle aged when Christ died. Michelangelo stated that chastity preserves youth. youth symbolizes her incoruptable purity.

2. Christ appears asleep instead of dead. Michealangelo states, "Christ lives forever in our hearts and minds."

3. Mary larger than Christ. Michealangelo; illistrates his feebleness in state of death.

4. Christ too youthful and relaxed. -- Christ harmoniously contained within the large pyramidal forms of his mother. To a mother, a child is alway young and the mother always protects the child.

5. Christ timeless idealized image. --

6. Mary appears to gaze incestously at Christ.
