This, by Michael Angelo, is in the Vatican if my memory is OK. I understand it's behind plexi now after being damaged by a vandal, but it wasn't when I was there many years ago, you could walk right up to it. I remember being kind of stunned when I saw it, of all the art that was there

As much as I love David, the Pieta is to me his greatest work.
