Question

Michelangelo’s Pieta depicts the Virgin Mary holding the body of Jesus after he had been crucified. T ot F

Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

    The Pietà sculpture, made by the Renaissance Michelangelo, is one of the most beautiful and impressive works in the history of Western art and one of the best known by the author.

   Produced in marble in 1499, the work is 174 x 195 cm. In it, the artist represents the biblical scene in which the Virgin Mary holds in her arms Christ - her son - already lifeless.

  This Christian theme is called Pietà, which in Italian means "godliness." Therefore, practically all works made with this motto are given the same name. The scene is related to Our Lady of Mercy and Our Lady of Sorrows.

   The sculpture is located in Vatican City, in St. Peter's Basilica.

Answer 2

It's true, because as you can see, Jesus is lying across Mary's lap. He has just been taken down from the Cross. (That's the best way I can word that, hope it helps!)
