Product Description

This Extremely Detailed and Well-Made statue is an excellent replica of Michelangelo's Pieta, which depicts the body of Jesus in Mary's arms after the crucifixion. Measures approx. 10 Inches in height and width, this piece is made with cold cast resin, which allows the loyal preservation of the intricate details and the spirit of the original. It has a nice, substantial feel to it and is heavy for its size. Very much a Class Act Quality Product.

I purchased this as a gift for my mom at Christmas and she was moved to tears when she opened the box. In that respect, it was everything that I hoped it would be.

They didn't provide dimensions, so I should tell you this is no small trinket you keep on the dash of your car. This is about 10" wide by 10" high and about 8" deep...And it's heavy. I didn't put it on a scale, but I'd guess it weighs about 10 lbs.

Is it a perfect replica of the 1499 Michelangelo Masterpiece, shrunken down to size? No. There are considerable differences in the appearance of Mary's face, which may detract those trying to own Michelangelo's exact vision in their own home. But while this version doesn't convey the exact look of Mary from the original, it will move you as artwork on its own merits none-the-less.

Other than Marys face, the level of detail compared to the original is fantastic. The way it catches light softly and casts shadows is stunning. The look of Jesus in the arms of Mary looks authentic, the folds in Mary's clothing, and even Michaelangelo's carving of "MICHAELAGELUS BONAROTUS FLORENTIN FACIEBA" into the sash are all there. It is quite remarkable.

More important than how it compares, viewing it under a lamp in an otherwise dark room at Christmas got me to thinking about the magnitude of that moment, reconnecting me to my faith. And isn't that what religious artwork should do?

If you've been debating buying this, I can only tell you, it comes highly recommend from me.

The Pieta is hands-down my favorite piece of artwork. The original is so spiritually moving, I'm sure it makes anyone hesitate to purchase a copy. Plus I've seen a lot of really bad copies and that made me hesitate even more. I was so relieved when this piece arrived! While, obviously, nothing can look as good as the original except the original itself, this piece is the BEST I have ever encountered! Honestly, I just stared at it for about an hour after I got it out of the box! If you are a Pieta lover, I don't think you will be disappointed with this piece!
