The Pietà (Italian for “pity”) is a subject in Christian art depicting the Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus … As such, it is a particular form of the devotional theme of Our Lady of Sorrows, and also a scene from the Passion of Christ and is the 13th of the Stations of the Cross.-Wikipedia
The most famous Pietà is Michelangelo’s Pietà in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. His interpretation is different from most earlier pietà … The Virgin is also unusually youthful, and in repose, rather than the older, sorrowing Mary of most pietàs -Wikipedia
