The Pietà (Italian: [pjeˈta]; English: "The Pity"; 1498–1499) is a work of Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. It is the first of a number of works of the same theme by the artist. The statue was commissioned for the French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères, who was a representative in Rome. The sculpture, in Carrara marble, was made for the cardinal's funeral monument, but was moved to its current location, the first chapel on the right as one enters the basilica, in the 18th century.[1] It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed.
This famous work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The theme is of Northern origin. Michelangelo's interpretation of the Pietà is unprecedented in Italian sculpture.[citation needed] It is an important work as it balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism.
In 2019, a small terracotta figure identified as a model for the final sculpture was displayed in Paris.[2]

The Pietà (1498–1499) is a work of Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. It is the first of a number of works of the same theme by the artist. The statue was commissioned for the French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères, who was a representative in Rome. The sculpture, in Carrara marble, was made for the cardinal's funeral monument, but was moved to its current location, the first chapel on the right as one enters the basilica, in the 18th century. It is the only piece Michelangelo ever signed.
The concept of the Pieta was, in itself, not unique as there were many pietas in both German and French art. However, Michelangelo’s conceptualisation of the Pieta was unique for a number of reasons. He mixed Renaissance ideologies of classical beauty with naturalism but what set Michelangelo’s Pieta apart from all the others was that his was a multi-figured sculpture, considered a rarity in its day. When we look at the extraordinary representation of the human body here we remember that Michelangelo, like Leonardo before him, had dissected cadavers to understand how the body worked
In 1497, the young Michelangelo was commissioned by French Cardinal Jean de Bilheres Lagraulas to create “the most beautiful work of marble in Rome, one that no living artist could better.
每日一詞：Slippery Slope |危險的滑坡
想像一下：你站在一段滑溜溜的斜坡上，斜坡的底端通向萬丈深潭。向前一步，你距離危險還很遠；向前兩步，也還不至於弄濕鞋。但因為斜坡太光滑，你已經不能在第二步或者第十步的時候停住，身不由己地一直向著深淵滑去......
這就是英文裡常說的 slippery slope——滑坡效應 。這個詞字面意思就是“光滑的斜坡”。韋氏詞典這樣定義：a process or series of events that is hard to stop or control once it has begun and that usually leads to worse or more difficult things（一旦開始便難以阻止或駕馭的一系列事件或過程，通常會導致更糟糕、更困難的結果）。
時報關於首例基因編輯嬰兒在中國誕生的報導中提到，許多科學家、倫理學家和政策制定者擔心，如果人類胚胎可以被常規性地編輯，可能會引發一種通向未來的滑坡效應 。屆時嬰兒將為一些特質（比如運動能力和智力）被改造基因，而不是預防災難性的疾病。
不過，滑坡理論也容易引發邏輯謬誤。經驗告訴我們，滑坡是存在的；但我們無法斷言，每一個小錯都必將鑄成大錯；我們無法斷言，我們踏出的每一步都一定會成為滑坡的起點。邏輯學中，這樣的斷言被稱為“滑坡謬誤(slippery-slope fallacy)”。
Before reaching the tender age of thirty, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted David and Pièta, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. Like fellow Florentine Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo was a shining star of the Renaissance and a genius of consummate virtuosity.
Pieta（It.）：痛苦之母雕像；必哀大（音譯）：描繪聖母瑪利亞緊抱耶穌屍體之像，最出名者有米開朗基羅（Michelangelo）十字架下的痛苦聖母雕像，現存羅馬聖伯鐸大殿。原字為義大利文，意為母子之情。
