The Pietà is considered one of Michelangelo's masterpieces thanks to the dynamism and softness of its lines, the plastic rendering of the body's forms and the folds of the fabrics. The sculptural group depicts the Madonna holding her newborn son on her lap.
taken down from the cross. The Madonna supports her son, looking down, her right hand under his arm. The holes in the cross are clearly visible in Jesus's hands. The work does not represent the Madonna's pain or the torment of Christ's tortured body: rather, both, life and death, united, achieve divine perfection.
This explains the pyramidal structure, which spirals upward from the width of the base to the apex, and then to unity, in the Virgin's head. Michelangelo's perspective is always one: frontal. The abundant folds of the robe further emphasize the refinement of the naked body. This ample drapery of the Madonna contrasts with the smooth body of Jesus. The perfection of this, and of the Virgin's resigned face, expresses the transcendence of earthly features and the achievement of ideal beauty. The mother's extreme youth, compared to her son's, was chosen by Michelangelo precisely to better convey her chastity. In the Pietà there is no hedonism, but rather the deepest meaning of Neoplatonism and Florentine classicism: the idea is fully expressed, the forms are therefore totally refined.
