Pietà

I love Michelangelo works, especially "Pietà" (Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano).

I saw this "Pietà" when I was 4th grade of university: I wrote the university graduation thesis about "Considering the philosophy from Michelangelo's art work": I was so moved and my tears naturally came down because it is so beautiful and awful.

I met "Pietà Rondanini" (Castello Sforzesco in Milano) this May.
This is "non finito" work, but I thought it was completed when I saw.
This has abstract beauty; different from San Pietro's "Pietà"'s beauty.
