ADDITIONAL REVIEWS:

"I cannot speak too highly of this book, and I congratulate the contributors on the exemplary art historical and technical partnership it represents. . . . The book does not pretend to be the last work on the Pietà, but it would be difficult to imagine such a book being superseded for many years. . . . The images included are, almost without exception, astonishing."--Carol M. Richardson, The Art Book

ENDORSEMENT:

"This is the kind of book every art historian wishes were available on every work of art, major or minor: an in-depth study complete with essays on specific problems by specialists. The development of a virtual model of the statue is a major contribution. Beyond paving the way for future studies devoted to a single complex work, this book also provides the general reader with a most useful introduction to a powerful and unforgettable work by a famous sculptor."--David Wilkins, University of Pittsburgh
