I’m sure it is 500 or so years old, but, not being an expert or anything, it looks kind of awkward for Michaelangelo. THe composition seems off or something.

Jesus' anatomy is off. Compare the muscles on his abdomen to that of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel. It certainly doesn't seem like Michelangelo to me, either.... If you ask me, it looks a lot more Spanish ... something about the Mary's pose, and her eyes.

On the other hand....
