12. Pieta • This piece has been done many times by painters and sculptures, however Michelangelo's Pieta stands out to be one of the very best. • It took him two years to carve out Pieta from a slab of marble. • The virgin Mary who in most scenes like this actually very young and beautiful, instead of distraught and older looking. • There is so much detail in this work it will take hours to catalog the veins and muscle detail Michelangelo did in this piece.

13. Pieta Cont. • One important detail in this piece is Michelangelo's signature. When people view this work they said it was don’t by someone else and when Michelangelo heard this he was so mad he carved his name into the sash worn by Mary. • After this he never signed another one of his work for the guilt of defacing such a beautiful work.
