Do you know the origin of Pieta?

Pieta:The pieta in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome was painted by Michelangelo in 1499.

The Pity/La Pieta in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome is a pure white marble statue that is 2.15 meters high, 1.68 meters wide and weighs 3,050 kilograms.It took Michelangelo two years to carve and polish the statue, and the pieta, Michelangelo's portrait of the Virgin Mary, was completed in 1499.Michelangelo had just turned 25.

On the morning of May 21, 1972, visitors to the Festival of The Fallen walked through the Brasilia cloisters of St. Peter's Basilica, praising Renaissance art. "Pieta," a statue of the Virgin holding a promenade Jesus, was watched by the usual silent crowd.A Hungarian named Razler-Toth looks like an ordinary tourist until he lifts a hammer.The left arm was broken, and the veil and nose were broken.Most tragically, her left eye was damaged.Ending 500 years of her loving gaze on Her son.

Pope Paul visited the site after Toth was taken to Italian authorities.He knelt down to pray and said it was a "serious trauma."The statue had been covered with a large red cloth.

Vatican art experts worked together to estimate the damage.As the damage had been broken, it was possible only to restore the statue's appearance, not its original beauty.
