Introduction to the Pietà of the Virgin: The Pietà of the Virgin was sculpted by Michelangelo when he was 24 years old. The Virgin Mary holds Jesus from the cross in her right hand, with her left hand slightly stretched out, looking down at her son with an expression. Showing infinite love and sorrow, the Virgin's grief and obedience to God's will are vividly depicted in the work. It is the most lyrical piece of Michelangelo's work.
