About the piece
Painted in 1765 by the Austrian master Martin Johann Schmidt, this work captures the profound sorrow of the Pietà through a dramatic chiaroscuro lens. The energetic brushwork and deep, brooding shadows create a powerful sense of atmosphere typical of the artist's mature late-Baroque style.
