la pietá

La pieta was taken from the biblical story: After Jesus was crucified, the Virgin Mary embraced Jesus who had just been unloaded from the cross.

The main point of the la pieta statue is that Michelangelo built a stable visual system, and he used two methods to cooperate with each other.

The entire la pieta statue presents a pyramidal composition, establishing a stable visual experience. From all pure geometry, only triangles have a stable feeling.

Michelangelo la pieta proportions of the Virgin are magnified, and Michelangelo cleverly used the folds of the robe to cover the body of the Virgin that bears the weight of Jesus, making everything as natural as possible.

Because we have mold for the la pieta statue,so all deatils was perfect interpretation in the la pieta statue.

In la pieta statue, the Virgin did not touch Jesus. The Virgin’s left hand was kept apart, and her right hand was separated by a piece of cloth. This is used to express the holiness of the Eucharist.

Jesus fell asleep without revealing the pain of death.The Virgin’s gestures are relaxed, pure sadness, and the Virgin cannot be held up by the Holy Communion with difficulty, and she herself cannot have emotional force, so the expression of the hand is particularly critical.
