Inspired by the detail of the Virgin's face from Michelangelo's Pieta in
the Basilica of St. Peter, Vatican.
The Pieta, Michelangelo's only signed work, portrays Mary with calm beauty
and a serene expression. She is sitting on a rock slab with the body
of Christ lying across her knees. Mary and the rock on which she
sits have been interpreted by some as Mary super petram (on the
rock of the Church) for the group was placed on the altar of S. Petronilla,
an early church incorporated into Old St. Peter's, emphasizing its
Eucharistic significance.
