      Pietà

      For a long time this Pietà was attributed to Juan de Juni as it was thought that Spanish art was more capable of expressing the profound sentiment that forms the theme of the Pietà. However, it is now considered to be unquestionably the work of the Portuguese Benedictine monk, Frei Cipriano da Cruz, who was responsible for the sculpture group for the church of the College of São Bento, in Coimbra, of which this magnificent Pietà formed part.
