The Early renaissance Religious painting titled Pietà, created by Filippo Lippi between 1437 and 1439, is a poignant depiction of the Virgin Mary mourning over the body of Christ. Rendered in tempera on panel, this masterpiece is notable for its delicate detail, serene expressions, and subtle use of color, exemplifying the spiritual depth characteristic of 15th-century religious art. Currently housed in the Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan, Lippi’s Pietà captures a tender moment that reflects both religious devotion and artistic mastery typical of the Early renaissance.
