"Lamentation of Christ" - Michelangelo's Delicious Pie

Artwork (in stone or on canvas),representing the picture in which Christ is sealed and the Mother of God mourning him is called a drink. Michelangelo was no more than 25 years old when he completed his creation, which became the perfect example of iconography in sculpture. It is impossible to say exactly when the sculpture was conceived and when the sculpture was finished, but many sources of the history of the visual arts refer to the period from 1497 to 1501.

Pieta Michelangelo delights the divinehumility in the tribulation of Mary before the very grave loss. On the face of the Mother of God there is not a shadow of despair, the calm, silent sorrow of her all-forgiving soul is reflected on the beautiful face, illuminating the image with an aura of holiness. Christ looks as if he had just fallen asleep after a difficult foot journey, and his undisturbed sleep is about to be interrupted by the gentle touch of her hands.

Michelangelo's delightful drink is made in such a way

what does any of those who see it feel in their heartthe closeness of the awareness that is happening in Mary. And this is happening, despite hundreds of years of rebellion between the man who sees the sculpture, and its origin in the master's imagination. The author achieved this effect with the help of his patience, talent and the decision to retire Christ and Mary, thereby saving the composition from minor, and therefore unnecessary figures. This method of drinking Michelangelo is different from the drinks of many artists of the 15th century, depicting the Virgin and Christ in their paintings surrounded by other characters. But among well-known artists there are those who, when creating the drink, like Michelangelo Buonarroti, were guided by the idea of ​​solitude, the idea of ​​a two-figure composition. If we take into account the fact that Michelangelo was the first among other recognized geniuses to have glorified this type of drink, then it can be argued that the great sculptor became the ancestor of sub flow in the visual arts of those times.

In the modern world there are many copies of the drink.Michelangelo, and the original is stored on the territory of the Vatican State in the Cathedral of St. Peter. Giorgio Vasari wrote that the sculptor accidentally heard a dispute between people about who is the true author of this creation.

The situation ended with the sculpture "Lamentation of Christ" was the only signed work of Michelangelo.

Pieta "Rondanini", started 55 years afterthe first was his last work. Unfinished, she became for Michelangelo the imprint of his death. With all the roughness of the lines of this unfinished work, considering the pose of the figures, one can feel the emotional strain and despair of the Mother of God. Such a decision by Michelangelo contrasts sharply with the calmness of his first drink. How symbolically these two sculptures personify youth and decay: the ever-young Mother of God who knows no sorrow in the first drink and the mother distracted by silent despair, trying to raise her child in the second. Of course, Michelangelo is an outstanding sculptor of all times, even in his unfinished sculpture one can feel the power that inspires the soul of any Orthodox person. The statues of Michelangelo Buonarroti are great examples of sculptural creativity, sublime and heartfelt, they conquer the hearts of those who appreciate the beautiful.
