Michelangelo Buonarotti was only 23 years old when he created the famous Pietà.
A French cardinal commissioned the work and it took Michelangelo only two years to complete (1498-1500).
It was made from a single block of Carrara marble and it's the only sculpture the artist ever signed.
Michelangelo carved the words on the sash running across Mary's chest. MICHÆLANGELVS BONAROTVS FLORENTINVS FACIEBAT (English: "Michelangelo Buonarroti, the Florentine made this"
