Guest Guest Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 The Pieta sculpture of the Blessed Virgin Mary holding Jesus after he came down from the cross is awesome. My question is, She is wearing some type of banner with Latin words on it across her chest, what does it say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Which Pieta? There are many differnt Pietas. I don't know which have banners. Please send me a PM if you know which one, and I can translate it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 You can thank St.Colette (Jennie) for this answer: [quote]hehe I know The Pieta that they are speaking of. They are referring to the sash that goes across Mary as a banner. The sash translated says "Michelangelo Buonarroti of Florence made this." It's the only piece of his work that bears his signature. Anywho that's the answer [/quote] Michaelangelo's Pieta . . . I should have known! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
