Wikipedia says: The sculpture captures the moment when Jesus, taken down from the cross, is given to his mother Mary. Mary looks younger than Jesus; art historians believe Michelangelo was inspired by a passage in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy: "O virgin mother, daughter of your Son [...] your merit so ennobled human nature that its divine Creator did not hesitate to become its creature" (Paradiso, Canto XXXIII).[1] Michelangelo's aesthetic interpretation of the Pietà is unprecedented in Italian sculpture[2] because it balances early forms of naturalism with the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty.
