The



Piet*



(14981499) is a

masterpiece

of

Renaissance


sculpture

by

Michelangelo

Buonarroti, housed in

St. Peter's Basilica

in

Vatican City

. It is the first of a number of works of the same theme by the artist. The statue was commissioned for the

French


cardinal


Jean de Billheres

, who was a representative in Rome. The sculpture, in

Carrara marble

, was made for the cardinal's funeral monument, but was moved to its current location, the first chapel on the right as one enters the basilica, in the 18th century. It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed.
This famous work of art depicts the body of

Jesus

on the lap of his mother

Mary

after the

Crucifixion

. The theme is of Northern origin, popular by that time in France but not yet in Italy. Michelangelo's interpretation of the

Piet*

is unique to the precedents. It is an important work as it balances the

Renaissance

ideals of

classical beauty

with naturalism. The statue is one of the most highly finished works by Michelangelo.
