"Post Passion" At the time Michelangelo created his flawless and 2nd most famous sculpture "Pietà " he was only 24 years old. It took him less than 2 years from 1498-1499 to complete it. He was commissioned by French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères to create Pietà for his funeral monument. Michelangelo's Pietà had a few homes over the centuries & now resides behind bulletproof glass in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, after 1972 when crazed geologist took a hammer to it knocking off Mary's nose, eyebrow, & her left arm. This is the only piece of work that Michelangelo ever signed. #RomeItaly #DPGC_UrbanDecay #nexus_army #globe_travel #worldcaptures #igrome #igitaly #jesuschrist #worldtraveler #Bnw #way2ill #gameoftones #travel #canon_official #pieta #pietà #michelangelo #vaticancity #stpetersbasilica #vatican #sculpture #jesus #madonna #church #virginmary #rome #catholic #catholicism (at Vatican City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4E323SFYC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
