Michelangelo is.
Michelangelo Buonarroti is well known for his marble sculpture "Pietà", which depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. Michelangelo created this masterpiece when he was only 24 years old. The sculpture can be found in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.

The theme of the Pietà sculpture is grief and mourning, as it depicts the Virgin Mary holding the body of Jesus after his crucifixion. It emphasizes the relationship between a mother and her son, as well as the sorrow of losing a loved one.
Pietà is Italian for pity, and commonly refers to one of three atristic representations of Mary, mother of Jesus. The most well-known pietà is the one carved from marble by a young Michelangelo and is found in St. Peter's Basilica.
The Pollaiuolo brothers, Antonio and Piero, were renowned Renaissance artists known for their work in painting and sculpture, but they did not create a wooden in-the-round sculpture specifically depicting Judgment Day. Instead, they are more famous for their bronze and marble works, as well as their paintings, like "The Battle of the Nudes." Their contributions to art focused on the human form and dynamic compositions rather than wooden sculptures of that theme.
The Triumph of Death over life by Rizal is actually a well known sculpture. Rizal originally made this sculpture to give to his friend, Ferdinand Blumentritt.
