Catalogue Note
Cette belle Pietà en terre cuite polychrome est tout à fait caractéristique des oeuvres des sculpteurs de la région de Bologne dans le courant du XVIIIe siècle et notamment d'artistes tel que Giuseppe Mazza (1653-1741). Le traitement vigoureux des drapés en plis nerveux souligne l'expressivité des gestes et l'émotion du sujet.
