The Pietá




An important piece of art in my life is an sculpture. It is called " The Pietá" by Michelangelo. This is a piece of art that represents the Renaissance. It has the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion.


The first time I saw it was in my grandma´s house. She had an art book which contained pictures of the most famous pieces of art in human history. Besides, I had an important religious influence from her to analyse the Bible and Jesus life, for that reason I was so impressed with it.


When I saw this sculpture in the picture, I was fascinated, because it was a perfect representation of Jesus and Mary, from my point of view. I was 8 years old, and I couldn´t understand how Michelangelo had done it.


The Pietá is a fantastic and almost perfect representation of humanity anf history, it is an incomparable piece of art.
