I found this sculpture interesting because Michelangelo tried to destroy this piece of work because he found the marble was defective. To this day the statue remains unfinished. This is one of Michelangelo’s most elaborate pieces. It is the dead Christ, his mother who is seated and a maidservant along with the upright figure who is possibly Nicodemus to Joseph of Arimathea. The sculpture is kept in Museo dell’Opera del Duomo in Florence and is known as the Florence Pieta.
