Trusted with a truly priceless sculpture!
One of our proudest achievements was a project for the Vatican. Michaelangelo's
Pieta (pictured at right) is one of his most famous works of art. The
statue, made out of marble, was finished before Michaelangelo was 25 years
old (1498-1500). It depicts the youthful Mary seated majestically, holding
the dead Christ across her lap, a theme borrowed from northern European
art. Instead of revealing extreme grief, Mary is restrained, and her expression
is one of resignation. Today this piece sits in its original place, Saint
Peter's Basilica, and Belding Walbridge had the privilege of relocating
it for the Vatican's traveling expedition across the U.S. in 1982.
