The "Pietà" (1576-1582) is a significant religious painting by the Italian Renaissance master Paolo Veronese (1528–1588), also known as Paolo Caliari. This work, created during the latter part of Veronese's career, is a profound representation of the biblical scene depicting the Virgin Mary mourning over the dead body of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion, a subject that has been a poignant theme in Christian art for centuries.

Measuring an impressive 147 cm × 115 cm, the "Pietà" is renowned for its emotive power and the mastery with which Veronese has rendered the figures and their expressions. The painting is a testament to Veronese's skill in composition, use of color, and ability to convey deep emotion through his work. It showcases his Mannerist tendencies, with elongated figures and an emphasis on complex, often dramatic postures.

Veronese's "Pietà" is particularly noted for its departure from the traditional representations of the theme. Instead of focusing solely on the figures of Mary and Jesus, Veronese includes other mourners in the scene, adding to the painting's narrative depth and emotional resonance. The inclusion of these additional figures may reflect the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on involving the viewer in the religious experience, a response to the Council of Trent's directives for art to serve as a didactic tool for the faithful.

The painting's provenance and history are as compelling as the work itself. Originally, the "Pietà" was intended for Veronese's own tomb in the church of San Sebastiano in Venice, where the artist had painted extensively. However, the painting was left unfinished at the time of Veronese's death in 1588 and was later completed by his sons. The work remains an important piece in understanding the development of Venetian painting and the transition from Renaissance to Baroque art.

Today, the "Pietà" is held in the collection of the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. As a masterpiece of late Renaissance art, it not only reflects Veronese's personal devotion but also serves as a lasting example of the era's religious and artistic ideals.
