The piece of art that I like is La Pietà; is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture. It was created on marble between 1498 and 1499 by Michelangelo. (He was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer).
Michelangelo's Pietà, represent a depiction of the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion.
I saw it for the first time in the history channel on a TV program, and I liked it because it is beautiful. I don’t understand how the artist makes this piece of art so real, and gives to it different interpretations. One is that the Mary´s youth symbolizes her incorruptible purity.
In general, I like all the works of art that are like a photography, but this work is more than it ... it is a masterpiece. today the Pietà is located in the vatican city and is visited b millon persons every year.
