"The Pietà" --------
Roman School of the 16th century, follower of Michelangelo Buonarroti. --------
Period: Second half of the 16th century --------
Oil on panel --------
Panel dimensions: 44 x 37 cm ---------
This highly refined "Pietà," painted by a Roman artist influenced by Michelangelo Buonarroti, takes inspiration from the famous drawing that the Supreme Master created for Vittoria Colonna in the mid-16th century, now exhibited in the Boston Museum. -------
The pictorial characteristics, of extreme elegance but also of great expressive force, are accompanied by an extraordinarily rich and vivid chromatic range, typically Michelangelesque. ------- It is evident that the author of the painting is strongly influenced by the works of Buonarroti and his frescoes. -----------
The colors of the panel have remained exceptionally vibrant thanks to the use of high-quality pigments.
This allows us to admire the work in all its beauty. ---------
In particular, the faces of the protagonists are striking, highlighting truly unusual and very interesting somatic features. -------
