Beyond the Image: Symbolism and MeaningThe Pieta, a depiction of the mourning Virgin Mary holding the crucified Christ, is a potent symbol of grief and redemption. Bellini's composition focuses on the intimate connection between mother and son, emphasizing their shared pain and love. Saint John the Evangelist, the beloved disciple, offers a comforting presence, representing hope and the promise of salvation.
