Pietà
Anonymous Milanese (?)16th century - 16th century
Museo Bagatti Valsecchi
Milano, Italia
Not only was the religious theme appealing, but the 16th century embroidery of the Pietà (surrounded by 19th century twining shoots) also represented a chance to express "Milanese-ness" since Milan was a center for high quality embroidery during the Renaissance. Probably purchased by the brothers Fausto and Giuseppe at the end of the 19th century, the Pietà was fixed onto 19th century velvet, and is still displayed--as are all other objects in the museum--in its original place, thus contributing to the authentic "time capsule" ambiance.
