20160822_015358 The Pieta

Orvieto, Umbria, Italia

Again from Wikipedia:
"Scalza’s other major contribution to the church is the large Pietà he sculpted in 1579. it took him eight years the carve the four figures in this imposing marble group."

All done with hand tools too. The detail, the textures, the form... that boy knew how to work the marble.
