Michaelangelo's Pieta: The Vatican

St Peter's Cathedral, Vatican City

Sculpted between 1498 and 1500, the Pieta is one of Michaelangelo's most famous works and was the only statue he ever signed.

This was shot through reflective glass in St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican so it loses all the detail that makes it a marvel to look at and a true work of art.
