# Pietà [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VECCHIETTA]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Painted wood, height 96 cm ## Commentary Although Vecchetta's paintings and sculpture are usually considered separately, the two functions reinforced each other throughout his career. For example, the measured approach to monumentality in his fresco of the Lamentation, formerly in the Martinozzi Chapel in San Francesco, Siena, is also evident in the contemporary painted wood Pietà from San Michele al Monte di San Donato, Siena, which has a similar composition. ## Related artworks - [Alms of St Lawrence]() - [Alms of St Lawrence]() - [Arliquiera \(detail\)]() - [Arliquiera \(outer shutters\)]() - [Ceiling decoration]() - [Ceiling decoration]() - [Ceiling decoration]() - [Ciborium]() - [Coronation of Pius II]() - [Dante: Divina Commedia]() - [Death of the Virgin and Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Death of the Virgin]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
