The Pieta


I spent a lot of time inside the Basilica and took a lot of photos, but the most memorable of all that I saw was the Pieta. It is one of Michaelangelo's early works and it has been criticized for imbalanced proportions, lack of boldness, etc. But I think it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Too bad it's behind glass and kind of far away.
