MICHELANGELO di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
Biography


Palestrina Pieta


Marble, height: 253 cm
Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence



This Pieta was attributed to Michelangelo for the first time in 1756 without any proven evidence. If it were his, it would have to be placed between the two last Pietas. However, the heaviness of the figures and the square contours of the group make this attribution improbable.
