Pietà 1472

Gentile Bellini's "Pietà" (1472) depicts the moment of Jesus's death as he is supported by his mother, Mary. The painting features a detailed portrayal of the figures, with their emotional expressions and gestures conveying the sorrow and grief of the scene. The background is a simple yet effective composition, with a muted palette that adds to the somber tone of the artwork. The composition is balanced and the figures are arranged in a way that draws the viewer's eye to the central figure of Jesus. "Pietà" is a moving portrayal of a significant religious event.
