greatest living artist in
his lifetime, and ever
since then he was
considered as one of the
greatest artists of all
time. A number of
his works in
paintings, sculpture, and
architecture rank among
the famous in existence.

Pieta depicts the body of Jesus on
the lap of his mother Mary after the
Crucifixion.
Michelangelo convinces himself and
his spectators of the divine
quality and the significance of these
