Bring home the emotion and mastery of Michelangelo's Pietà with this extraordinary Capodimonte porcelain reproduction with a glossy finish. This sculpture represents one of the most famous masterpieces of Renaissance art, a symbol of artistic perfection and profound spirituality.

The scene, which portrays the Virgin Mary with the body of Christ taken down from the cross, is reproduced with exceptional attention to detail. The glossy finish enhances the lines and drapes, adding a modern and refined touch to this classic art object. 

Sculpted between 1498 and 1499 by a very young Michelangelo Buonarroti, the Pietà is kept in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. This work is the famous artist's first great masterpiece and the only one that bears his signature, visible on the ribbon that crosses the Virgin's chest.

The composition is a perfect example of balance and harmony: Mary is represented young and serene, in contrast with the body of Christ, which transmits suffering and sacrifice. The details of the drapery and the delicacy of the expressions make the Pietà a work of poignant beauty, which continues to inspire artists and admirers from all over the world.

Historical Curiosities

Among the Neapolitan artisanal creations that boast a record of excellence in the world, there is undoubtedly the Capodimonte Porcelain, the flagship of the Bourbon dynasty. In 1743, the Royal Factory of Capodimonte was founded inside the Royal Palace of Capodimonte, home of King Charles of Bourbon and his wife Anna of Saxony, whose artistic production over time became more valuable and famous than the French and German ones.

For over 250 years  Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte has been dedicated to the production of unique works, finely crafted by the hands of the few master ceramists remaining today, who passionately carry on the tradition.

The porcelains from Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte stand out for the uniqueness of their mixture, soft and milky in colour, deriving from the fusion of various types of clay which does not contain coalin.

The brand that represents them, i.e. the unmistakable crowned N that marks the back of each piece produced, symbolizes the sophisticated fusion between tradition and art.
