Michelangelo's Pieta
A sacred moment
History of the making of the original sculpture.
If you enter St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City and look inside the first chapel on the right, you’ll see Michelangelo’s Pietà sculpture, one of the most famous religious artworks ever created. It depicts Jesus after the Crucifixion, in the arms of his mother, Mary. Michelangelo sculpted the Pietà, a style of artistic expression that translates to “Pity,” It took over two years to carve this sculpture in 1498 and 1499, using one single piece of marble from the famed Carrara quarry.
He created this masterpiece when he was only 23 and it’s the only work Michelangelo ever signed. Our Pietà sculpture is a careful reproduction of Michelangelo’s masterpiece. Handmade by our artisans who understand their craft, this sculpture was created using a similar enhanced marble like the very same Carrara quarry Michelangelo chose in the late 15th century. The provenance of the marble gives this Pietà an extra layer of luxurious authenticity. This is a work of art that deserves to be seen, whether in the Vatican or on your mantelpiece or in your church.

For Custom Life Size Dog CarvingsI haven’t received my statue yet and have not had any information regarding it. I’m always the one contacting the person. I’m not particularly happy with the final product although I have only seen it in pictures but I don’t think it looks like my dog that much and I did tell her about what needed adjusting but wasn’t always listened to. Just want this whole experience to be over with as I feel like my AU$6000 has been wasted and am still wondering whether I will receive my order or not.

For Howard's Outdoor Statue of Greek God POSEIDONWhat a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. We ordered a 7 foot tall, 2800 lbs marble statue of a custom made Poseidon for our garden. We are delighted both with the statue and the process! Stellar experience, extremely professional company, we were included in every aspect of the project and all of our expectations were met. We got exactly what we wanted, our requests were met as the project progressed. The statue is high quality, the work worthy of a museum. The delivery was timely (actually early), the packaging was well done, the delivery company took great care making sure we got our statue under the best conditions. WOW!
