Pieta 1605 - 1666

This anonymous 17th-century print, "Pieta," depicts the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ after his crucifixion. The image is a powerful and moving representation of grief and sorrow. The figures of Mary and Christ are rendered in a realistic style, while the surrounding imagery, including the cityscape, tools of Christ’s torture, and the procession of people, adds a sense of historical context to the scene. The print is a poignant reminder of the central event in Christian faith and the enduring power of human suffering.
