Titian & Michelangelo/Their Pietas

Number of Pages 3

A 3 page research paper/essay that contrasts and compares 2 art works. The word “pieta” is Italian for “pity” and this word has often been applied to Christian art that portrays the Virgin Mary holding the slain body of Christ in her arms. The most famous “Pieta” is the sculpture by Michelangelo; however, roughly 75 years later, the Titian painted his “Pieta,” and it is vastly different from the previous work. This comparison demonstrates that it is not only a difference in mediums and artistic style that makes these two arts works different, but also the vastly different interpretations of the artists. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
