Study for the "Colonna Pieta" 1538

Michelangelo's "Study for the 'Colonna Pieta'" is a powerful and moving depiction of the "Pieta", a subject that was popular among Renaissance artists. The drawing, created in 1538, showcases the masterful hand of Michelangelo in the expressive lines and detailed anatomical accuracy of the figures, particularly in the portrayal of Christ's suffering and the sorrow of the Virgin Mary. The dynamic composition, with figures reaching towards the heavens, reinforces the drama of the event.
