I too had the honorable blessing to see this magnificent work of art. It was even more remarkable than any photograph I had seen up to that time.

Your rendering is most remarkable. Although your name is not mentioned there is but one person that I know is capable and Blessed with such talent.

Best of the Best in the contest my dear friend ~ Steve

Bona Pasqua, Happy Easter. This is fine rendering of the Pieta. I remember the Pieta from the 1965 World's Fair in Queens New York. I was mesmerized then as I am mesmerized when I look at this wonderful piece. The shading is precise, the folds in the draping material are done with precision, the legs are shaded beautifully. This a very impressive piece. I remember, vividly the veins in Christ's arms, wow. Good luck to you in the contest. Ray G.

A nice religious presentation but this called dead has not been very long as Jesus did not die - he survived and this moment was the moment he seemed to be dead, and your creative detailed work is excellent in all details, your color choice and application is excellent as there are so many sections in only two bodies that it is outstanding - well done xoxo

Wow this is really something beautiful work of art my dear friend it's a masterpiece. I really love the details you captured it looks like a photograph. It's funny because one of my biggest wishes to be able to draw this one day. I'm so sorry I don't have a six left to give you but this really deserves a 20. Good luck in the contest I hope you win.

This is gorgeous, professional work. Sorry I did not have a "6". I really like your realistic work, love the ones that glorify our Savior. Fantastic folds, drawing indeed. A touching story. Seems it is of a loving Mother (Mary) who held Christ as a baby now after His death. I am not familiar with the work so I just interpret what it means to me.

A good looking image posted here into the competition with interesting notes. Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that famous statue. Detail, textures and tones are good. Well drawn and good luck!

what a great drawing of the pieta I have painted this one it is really interesting how Micheal Angelo but a full mans body in the lap of a woman she would have to be large to say the least beautiful work here

This is beautiful, stunning in every way! The details are intricate with such clarity. Excellent light and shading that creates appealing depth. The emotions are clearly portrayed and I thought this was a photo of statue. Well deserving of a six star rating, done with obvious skill and talent! Best wishes for the contest!
