I think the Pieta is the most beautiful sculpture ever done.
Could you make some comparisons?
Ever seen the veiled Christ ? Love&phsyco? The ecstasy of St. Theresa? Etc…
When just out of high school I saw this at the worlds fair in New York, USA. This was before it was damaged by a madman. I remember it even today and I’m now 75. You can see the veins and arteries in Jesus body. Mary looks angelic. It looks so human and soft not stone stiff. The folds of Mary’s dress are complex next to the smooth skin of Jesus. It is so human and frail. I remember it to this day in my old age.
Very well done! My wife and I were blessed to be able to see this work in person while on pilgrimage to Rome. I actually had an emotional response to seeing it. Sancta Maria, Ora pro Nobis!
Pieta made me cry when I first saw it, I felt the sorrow in my soul!
He did this work when he was 23? Miraculous at any age.
I took a trip to Rome with no real plans. Just walked that entire city aimlessly and eventually came across Pieta. stood there for a long time admiring the lines. I will see it again in the future.
I'm struck by Mary's beauty and youth. We're to always see her as pure and innocent, despite the terrific tragedy of the subject at hand. Again you point out the stability of the figure by way of its triangular shape. Such an eloquent observation. Thank you!
This has been my favorite work of art since I was a kid. Absolutely stunning!!!
I saw the original from within two arm's length. 'Breathtaking' isn't nearly enough to say about it.
This do'es not need to be explained. It speaks for itself. You can only stare in stunned disbelief
David, every time
I’m in Rome I make a trip and bring binoculars. I’m floored every time. Don’t know of another work of art that’s as good.
if I stood before this marvel I don't think I would be able to speak. And I think it would be sacraligious talk in it's precence
Fantastic! I never knew that about his signature - that he never really signed his works except this one. Very interesting I wonder if that story has credence 🧐
I think the story goes that he had to sneak in to the building at night to etch his name onto it, as I don't think Artists were allowed by the church to sign any of their work (I think they wanted sole credit for the artwork). You can definitely see why you would want your name inscribed on it, after having succeeded in creating such an incredible piece of work at such a young age. The only other real works he signed were his drawings.
nice video.. Great Job showing us World's greatest sculpture of Jesus and Holy Mary. thank you for doing it... wish I could go see it myself.. looks so amazing.
You do a great job.
It's possibly more breath taking than David. Absolutely stunning.
Greatest work of art in human history. Don’t know if something better
Hallo, Tatiana, thank you for this presentation you prepared for us. In my opinion all relevant information around this ingenious sculpture is included in this video. So I could reflect upon my resent impression on the pietá when I was visting St. Peter in February this year.
i absolutely adore your videos, please never stop making them 😄 also you are so gorgeous!!
Thank you so much Niamh! There will be lots more content coming 😊 let me know if you have any requests!
Hey Tatyana, really loved the information you shared with us about Michelangelo’s first masterpiece, Pietà. I was hoping you could take the time to share your insight on The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa by Bernini. I just wrote a paper about both pieces and was hoping you could share something I may have overlooked, or missed entirely. Thanks for the great videos, look forward to seeing what you share with us next!
Hey Wesley, thank you for your comment and your request :) Yes, of course! The Ecstasy of Saint Teresa by Bernini is one of my favorite works of art and I would be very happy to make a video about it. Look out for it coming soon! :)
Thank you. Really enjoyed your Vlog.
Thank you so much for making this fascinating video Miss. I am amazed by how much detail you have managed to include in such an all too short film.
As for the detail in the sculpture, it literally brings tears to my eyes. I am watching the film on my mobile in UK after an early morning shift but, were I in Rome, I doubt if I could move away from this spectacular work. I had that problem when viewing Dali's Christ Of St. John Of The Cross in Glasgow and had to make several visits, just to be near it!
What an incredible feet this sculpture is, especially for such a young man to construct. I am not at all surprised that he claimed it as his own.
I hope you will forgive me for adding my agreement to the comments regarding your visual and vocal beauty. All in all this video and your involvement in it is a Godsend.
Blessings and peace Miss. Thanks be to God.
Thank you for such a heartfelt comment! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you get to see the Pietà in person one day soon! 😊
It is my deepest dream to see the La Pieta soonest in Rome. How I imagined standing in front of the most amazing work of art and feel the heavenly energy of it.
It’s distant, bring binoculars and be prepared to be in awe. I think it’s the greatest work of art in human history
Bring with you the silence and stillness of contemplative humility, and a handkerchief. You will never forget the experience, and you may…never be quite the same.
This is my dream too!!
Thanks for such a wonderful journey to Michelangelo`s Art !!
Beautiful depiction, very accurate, and spectacular historical correlation.
WOW Fantastic ❤
Thanks for this video. Very interesting.
Hi Tatiana! I love your channel. Well done on what you have achieved. Very proud of you.
I’d like to suggest an Armenian painting you may wish to explore and analyse next!
Hi Tigran! Thanks for your support :) Yes, please let me know the name of the Armenian painting and the artist! Did you see my Hamalbashyan video? :)
Beauty ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Great video
Thank you so much! This video helped me soooo
with my school project!
It seems to me that Mary's right hand is supporting her son covered by the cloth of her gown, not a wrinkle on his skin caused by the pressure of her hand. Am I incorrect?
I loved this video ! Thank you !!
Awesome! Thank you for the education!!
Great video and amazing art
Another great video.
Thanks, I love this piece.
Hello Tatiana, I love Rome and your lectures even more. I knew about the Right arm but the picture of Pollak was extra. It was found in 1904, 400 years after the find.
Perhaps you will do one on GL Bernini, what an artist, he was 11 yrs when he did the sculpture of Mgr Santoni in St Pressada. Thank you, Anthony
Beautiful!
Mary's youth might also be explained by the fact that she is actually holding a living small child. And what we see is entirely in her mind and the child's mind, and a foretelling of the future.
Beautiful content your voice suits it really adorable and respectable. Thanks 😊😊
Thank you!!
hola tatyana!!
Always very well said!
Thank you!
Rockin
