The Pietà by Raphael, also known as the Baglioni Pietà or the Deposition, is a renowned Renaissance painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, commonly known as Raphael. Created around 1507, this masterpiece is a significant work from Raphael's early period and is currently housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome. The painting was commissioned by Atalanta Baglioni of Perugia in memory of her slain son, Grifonetto Baglioni.

Measuring 184 x 176 cm, the artwork is a powerful representation of the Lamentation over the Dead Christ, a common theme in Christian art that depicts the Virgin Mary mourning over the body of Jesus after his crucifixion. Raphael's interpretation of the subject matter is notable for its emotional intensity and the masterful use of color and composition. The painting features several figures, including Mary Magdalene and Saint John the Evangelist, who are shown expressing grief and despair.

The Pietà is particularly admired for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the tender yet poignant expressions of the figures, which showcase Raphael's skill in capturing human emotion. The work also reflects the influence of Michelangelo, whose own Pietà in St. Peter's Basilica was completed just a few years earlier and had a profound impact on the artistic community of the time.

Raphael's Pietà is not only a testament to his artistic genius but also an important historical document that provides insight into the religious and cultural context of the Italian Renaissance. Its creation marked a significant moment in Raphael's career, as he began to move away from the stylistic influences of his teacher, Perugino, and develop his own distinct approach to painting that would later earn him a place among the great masters of the Renaissance.
