Show Notes
Michelangelo worked on the unfinished "Rondanini Pietà" (1552-1564) until the last days of his life. Tragic and frail in appearance, the sculpture is often interpreted as reflecting the fragile state of mind of an extraordinary artist in the twilight of his life. The "Rondanini Pietà" is on display at Sforza Castle in Milan, Italy.
