"Michelangelo has always been viewed as one of the most talented artists in history. His works have sustained the test of time and today are still accepted as some of the most telling and touching pieces of art that patrons have available to them. One of his most famous works is the Pieta. The Pieta has four renowned versions of its portrayal and each one has similarities as well as differences to the other three.
