This book offers a fresh perspective on Michelangelo?s well-known masterpiece, the Vatican Piet?, by tracing the shifting meaning of the work of art over time.
Lisa M. Rafanelli chronicles the object history of the Vatican Piet? and the active role played by its many reproductions. The sculpture has been on continuous view for over 500 years, during which time its cultural, theological, and artistic significance has shifted. Equally important is the fact that over its long life it has been relocated numerous times and has also been reproduced in images and objects produced both during Michelangelo?s lifetime and long after, described here as artistic progeny: large-scale, unique sculpted variants, smaller-scale statuettes, plaster and bronze casts, and engraved prints.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, early modern studies, religion, Christianity, and theology.
