Michelangelo’s Pietà currently resides within St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. The original is carved from Carrara marble and completed in 1499. That original sculpture by Michelangelo is believed by many to be one of the greatest ever created and is the only piece he ever signed. With the exclusive rights, they built a posthumous, first-edition original in 20,000 ounces of .999 silver.
In the arduous process of recreating this fascinating, Foundry Michelangelo cast this feat of man as the largest pure silver sculpture on earth for the first time in history.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was known simply as Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance.
Born in the Republic of Florence, his work had a major influence on the development of Western art, particularly in relation to the Renaissance notions of humanism and naturalism. He is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and elder contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci.
Given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences, Michelangelo is one of the best-documented artists of the 16th century and several scholars have described Michelangelo as the most accomplished artist of his era.
