L'interprétation de La Pietà par l'artiste québécois Germain Bergeron se trouvant dans le parc LeSueur de la ville de l'Assomption, Québec.
La Pietà (1498-1499) est une statue en marbre de Michel-Ange de la basilique Saint-Pierre du Vatican à Rome, représentant le thème biblique de la « Vierge Marie douloureuse » (Mater dolorosa en latin ou Pietà), tenant sur ses genoux le corps du Christ descendu de la Croix avant sa Mise au tombeau, sa Résurrection et son Ascension.

Interpretation of La Pietà by the Quebec's artist Germain Bergeron located in the LeSueur Park, in the town of L'Assomption, Quebec.
The Pietà (1498–1499) is a world-famous work of Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. It is the first of a number of works of the same theme by the artist.
This famous work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. The theme is of Northern origin, popular by that time in France but not yet in Italy. Michelangelo's interpretation of the Pietà is unprecedented in Italian sculpture. It is an important work as it balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism.
