The Piet (pl. same; Italian for pity) is a subject in Christian art depicting the Virgin Mary cradling the dead body of Jesus, most often found in sculpture. As such, it is a particular form of the Lamentation of Christ, a scene from the Passion of Christ found in cycles of the Life of Christ. When Christ and the Virgin are surrounded by other figures from the New Testament, the subject is strictly called a Lamentation in English, although Piet is often used for this as well, and is the normal term in Italian. The Piet developed in Germany about 1300, reached Italy about 1400, and was especially popular in Central Europe.[1] Many German and Polish 15th century examples in wood greatly emphasise Christ's wounds. The Deposition of Christ and the Lamentation or Piet form the 13th of the Stations of the Cross, as well as one of Seven Sorrows of the Virgin. The most famous Piet is Michelangelo Buonarroti's Piet in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. His interpretation is different from most earlier piet statues, which were usually smaller and in wood. The Virgin is also unusually youthful, and in repose, rather than the older, sorrowing Mary of most piets. Michelangelo's last work was another Piet, this one featuring not the Virgin Mary holding Christ, but rather Joseph of Arimathea, probably carved as a self-portrait.
