Pietà is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Pietro Perugino. The scene of the Pietà was depicted by Perugino under a portico. The serene landscape with light trees is also common in his paintings of the period. Jesus`s body is horizontal and quite rigid, also held by John the Evangelist on the left and Mary Magdalene on the right. At the sides are further saints, a young one Nicodemus on the left, with the hands joined in his chest, and an aged one John of Arimathea on the right, looking down.The use of less pale tonalities for Mary Magdalene is similar to that used by Luca Signorelli at the time.
