Pieta 1932

Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic created this Pieta in 1932. It depicts the traditional Christian scene of the Virgin Mary mourning over the body of her son Jesus Christ. The sculpture is notable for its stark and realistic portrayal of grief, evident in the contorted figures and the intense emotional expression of the figures. Mestrovic's Pieta is a powerful and moving representation of the suffering and loss associated with Christ's crucifixion.
