Piëta 1861 - 1889

This black and white print, "Piëta," by William Unger depicts the Virgin Mary mourning over the body of her son, Jesus Christ. It showcases a traditional religious scene with detailed figures and a somber mood. The artwork, created between 1861 and 1889, is a testament to Unger's skill in depicting human emotion, particularly the pain and sorrow of the biblical scene. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, this work is a poignant reminder of a central event in Christian faith, capturing the heart of the Piëta theme.
