Palestrina Pietà
The Palestrina Pietà was attributed to Michelangelo in the absence of archives officially linking it to the artist.

The dead Christ slackening accentuated by his impressive musculature is a burden that requires to be sustained by considerable effort.

Michelangelo's sculpture of St Matthew had to be part of a series of the twelve apostles destined for the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

But only the statue of Saint Matthew was partly made.

A living Saint Matthew who tears himself off the stone.
