What is the significance of the pieta?

Answer 1

I am not sure what your question means, but: Pietà is a representation of Virgin Mary holding her dead son, Christ. So it is a picture of grief. Anything else you want to know about it, ask again!

Answer 2

It is one of the most beautiful sculptures done in the Renaissance . It shows Mary holding the body of Jesus. The robes seem to flow and move, the muscles of Jesus are defined and seem real. The sculpture seems to glow from within and marble feels warm to the touch( I saw it in 1973 and was able to touch it. Today you can't.) Michelangelo said the figures were all ready in the stone and all he did was free it.

Answer 3

It means a picture (sculpted or painted) of Virgin Mary with the dead Christ on her lap.

Answer 4

The Pieta represents the pity that the mother Mary had for her son Jesus after he was taken down from the cross. It represents great sadness, and grief.

Answer 5

Michelangelo Buonarroti worked on the pieta

Answer 6

Pietà is not the name of a person. It denotes a sculpted group of the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Christ.
