Genius of Michelangelo

Piety and Pity—The Florentine Pieta (1x34)

Date de diffusion: Jan 01, 2007

We focus on a single sculpture and singular work of art: the Florentine Pietà, which Michelangelo carved to be his own grave marker. It is an intensely personal work of art, made not on commission, but for himself; an artist's last will and testament.
