EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of Michelangelo Buonarroti's masterpiece, "Piet Rondanini". Created in 1564 from marble, this sculpture resides in the prestigious Castello Sforzesco in Milan. The image was taken at the beginning of the 20th century by Alinari, Fratelli. "Piet Rondanini" showcases Michelangelo's unparalleled talent and mastery of sculpting. It is a representation of his final work before his passing in 1564. This artwork seamlessly combines elements from High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, making it an exceptional example of European art during the first and second millennium A. D. The statue portrays several significant subjects from biblical narratives: Jesus Christ as a child cradled by Virgin Mary after being taken down from the cross. This evocative scene explores both physiological and psychological aspects as it delves into themes such as pain, functions and treatments for the body, personhood, life of Christ, and spirituality. Michelangelo's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous rendering of both nude human bodies. The male figure represents Jesus Christ while Virgin Mary embodies strength mixed with sorrowful tenderness. Their intertwined forms create a harmonious composition that exudes gracefulness despite its inherent tragedy. "Piet Rondanini" stands as a testament to Michelangelo's artistic genius—a legacy that continues to inspire generations even today. Its presence within Palazzo Rondanini further enhances its significance within Rome Roma. As viewers gaze upon this print captured by Alinari Fratelli over a century ago, they are transported back to witness firsthand one of history's most celebrated sculptures—an enduring symbol of Renaissance artistry at its finest.
