EDITORS COMMENTS
"Bandini Piety by Michelangelo Buonarroti is a captivating sculpture that embodies the essence of both Mannerism and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Originally located in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, this masterpiece now finds its home in the Museum of the Works of the Cathedral, Florence. Dating back to around 1550-1553, this artwork showcases Buonarroti's unparalleled talent and skill. The photograph captured in approximately 1940 allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this ancient piece. The Bandini Piety depicts a profound moment from the life of Christ - his deposition from the cross. This emotionally charged scene portrays Nicodemus and other important men gently supporting Jesus' lifeless body as they mourn his death. The sculpture beautifully captures their grief-stricken expressions and conveys a deep sense of human psychology. Every aspect, from clothing fashion to headdress choices, reflects the period it represents. The artist pays meticulous attention to even minute details such as hands, legs, eyes, nose, ears, and facial features – all contributing to an incredibly lifelike portrayal. This group portrait also includes representations of Virgin Mary with her serene expression amidst sorrowful surroundings. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of Christ's sacrifice but also explores physiological and psychological aspects within each individual depicted. Buonarroti's mastery shines through in every element – be it male figures partially nude or draped in various garments or female figures adorned with delicate accessories. His ability to capture human anatomy with precision further adds depth and realism to this extraordinary artwork. Bandini Piety stands as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage during both first and second millennia AD. Its presence evokes contemplation on themes such as faith, mortality, love for humanity while showcasing remarkable craftsmanship that has stood against time".
