The Pietà was carved by Michelangelo between 1498 and 1499 as a representation of the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. It was commissioned for the French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères to be placed in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. The sculpture aims to convey profound themes of love, loss, and compassion, highlighting both the humanity of Mary and the sacrifice of Christ. Michelangelo's masterful craftsmanship and emotional depth make the Pietà a significant work of Renaissance art.
