Top Collection La Pieta by Michelangelo Statue - Museum Grade Replica Sculpture in Premium Cold-Cast Marble White - 10-Inch Renaissance Replica Figurine

I'm very happy! This is exactly what I was looking for. Beautiful. It feels solid and high quality. Really grabs attention.

Very pretty and solid and exactly what I was looking for. It looks beautiful on my mantle in my Renaissance corner, next to my beautiful print of Titian’s Flora. Exceptional quality and value. The seller has excellent and prompt customer service too. Highly recommend.

I found this item while looking to add several classic artworks to my place that depict the life of Christ. I wanted a sculpture, and Michaelangelo's Pieta was one of the few replicas I saw available for purchase. This one cost the most out of the the several options available, but it also seemed the most faithful in terms of detail to the original sculpture. When it arrived, it was true to the description offered on the seller's page. The gleam and luster of the resin is different than Michaelangelo's marble, but aesthetically pleasing in its own way. I like that the piece feels almost like an unpolished version. As some other reviewers noted, it has substance to it, as you would imagine a piece of sculpture should. It's a nice weight. While the detail isn't a perfect copy--for instance, the look of mournfulness on Mary's face, the way that Christ's arm sags under Mary's hand are a little different--consider that this is a much smaller piece, and a different methodology of processing, in which to try to pack of all Michelangelo's unbelievable craftsmanship. I think it still does an extraordinary job, and if you're looking to add a replica of this sculpture to have either for artistic or devotional purposes, it will be among the best out there.

This was far more beautiful and bigger than I expected! I love it! I can't wait to display on our home altar after it is blessed by our parish priest!

This is my second purchase of a La Pieta by Michelangelo Statue. The piece is truly museum-grade and the attention to detail is impeccable. I gifted the first one to my mother a few years ago as this is her favorite sculpture. Seeing the original sculpture in Italy with her was a very powerful and emotional affair. I remember seeing the sculpture for the first time and just wondering what thoughts were going through Mary's mind at that moment. The only thing I could think of as a parent was "Look what they have done to my son...", and it brought tears to my eyes. Being a parent of a son and daughter, I want nothing more than for my children to be safe, healthy, and free from harm. Recently a close family friend visited my mother and fell in love with the La Pieta sculpture. He was so moved by it that after a few moments he teared up and was very emotional. My mother mentioned that this sculpture has had a similar effect on many people that have come to visit her and see the sculpture. The 10-inch sculpture is very detailed and heavy and its depiction of the real La Pieta is identical if not more detailed. This being my second purchase of a 10-inch museum-grade La Pieta replica is a testament to its quality and representation as it is also a gift to a very dear friend. I can't express how impactful the Top Collection "La Pieta" by Michelangelo Statue is to see, all I can only attest to is how it affects the people who see it, as it is a visually emotional piece to gaze upon.

Replica of Michelangelo's PIETAI can't stop looking at it! This is really beautiful! Seeing and holding it took me back to 1983 when I saw the real thing at St. Peters at the Vatican. It didn't take long to arrive, either. It was beautifully and securely boxed so it arrived safely. I'm considering buying another for a friend's 70th birthday.

Words cannot describe how much I love this statue. La Pieta has been my very favorite religious statue since I was a young child. As I’ve grown older, I appreciate it’s beauty even more. I’m sure it means something different to everyone who views it. When I look at it, I see the ultimate expression of a Mother’s love, the comforting assurance of peace upon death, and a testament to the power of faith. I’ve seen many versions of this statue, but none that are this detailed and of this size at such a reasonable price. It’s not necessarily cheap to purchase, but it’s definitely not cheaply made either. The details are amazing and really bring this statue to life. The faces are so expressive that one can feel the emotions portrayed by the statue. It’s a great size and really stands out in my living room. Each day I find myself looking at the statue in quiet reflection of my faith and the role it has played in my life.

The Catholic Encyclopedia (which you can find on NewAdvent org) describes the Pieta in its entry on Michelangelo Buonarroti as follows:"A calm, peaceful expression of grief rests on all the figures of the group [it was part of a larger work.] The face of the mother has youthful beauty; the head is bowed but slightly, yet expressive of holy sorrow. Her drapery lies in magnificent folds under the body of the Saviour. The latter is not yet stiff and reveals but slight traces of the suffering endured, especially the noble countenance so full of Divine peace. Not the lips but the hand shows the intensity of the grief into which the mother's soul is plunged."This reproduction, as noted in other excellent 5 star reviews, is not a perfect scaled-down replica; but it absolutely captures the essence of the description above. This is an amazing piece of work for the price. It doesn't have the high-polish sheen of marble, but it's not at all "cheap" to the eye or to the touch. It's a faithful, beautiful rendering.Catholics (and non-iconoclastic Christians) will be very pleased. Quiet prayer with the Holy Spirit in front of this 'Lamentation of Christ' is very moving: your thoughts lift to God, your heart breaks for Jesus, and tears are shed for the Blessed Mother. Isn't that what we believe is the true end of all art - the Greater Glory of God?
