Renaissance art is of special significance to all because of the creativity that the artists of that period have shown. This distinct style was developed in Italy and people instantly succumbed to its beauty because of the fact that they created awareness, promoted individualistic views of man and also revived the classical learnings. The Pieta by Michelangelo is a renaissance sculpture that is liked by many. It is located at St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican city. The iconic interpretation of David on the monumental marble seriously makes renaissance art more valuable.
