Pietà, meaning pity or compassion, is the term that is applied in biblical art to highlight the scene of the Virgin Mary holding her dead son, Jesus, on her lap right after his crucifixion. This particular scene is not described in the Gospels but had evolved over the centuries as Christian stories and Christian art developed. When you shop for our pieta statues and other fine Catholic statues, you will be amazed at the manner our sculptors capture the youthful beauty of the Virgin Mary, and she is always captured looking very young, a common approach in biblical art of that time. Perhaps, the idea of making her look young comes about because it is believed that she holds ageless purity and internal beauty. Her face appears sad in Michelangelo’s pieta statue but with a graceful peace and acceptance of his death. She does not appear grief-stricken. The pure and tender moment between the mother and son elicits sorrow and compassion in the viewers, making the reproductions of Michelangelo’s pieta statues highly sought after till this day.
