Product Description | Pieta Virgin Mary Statue
D&Z Sculpture's large white marble Pieta Virgin Mary statue depicts the Virgin Mary cradling the Passionate Jesus. Mary sits demurely in a wide robe, her head slightly tilted back. Her face conveys sorrow and supplication. The adult Jesus lies across her lap, his head tilted back, one arm hanging naturally, the fabric extending from his waist to his legs.
Key sculpting features of this marble pieta statue include:
Facial Expression: Restrained sorrow expressed through the eyebrows, eyes, corners of the mouth, and head angle.
Relationship Between Figures: Care and attachment are conveyed through the support of the back, the support of the legs, and physical contact.
Body Details: The chest, abdomen, fingers, toes, curls, and beard of Jesus are depicted.
Layers of Clothing Folds: The deep folds of the robe accentuate the smooth surface of the human form.
Overall Silhouette: The broad seated posture and the lower part of the robe create a stable visual composition.
Different Angle Views
The front view immediately reveals the Virgin Mary's sorrowful, upward gaze and her overall posture of embracing Jesus;
The side view clearly shows the undulating lines of the drapery and the layering of the figure's body;
The back view showcases the sculpted details of the layered fabric of the cloak.
Design Inspiration
The Marble Pietà Virgin Mary statue continues the Pietà theme in Christian art, depicting Mary embracing the deceased adult Christ. St. Peter's Basilica's description of the famous Pietà also portrays this image as the Virgin Mary embracing the dead Christ, guiding believers to meditate on suffering and faith.
The marble Virgin Mary statue focuses on this embracing action. Mary's posture of receiving Jesus' body gives grief a concrete form. The contact between the figures also conveys the enduring love in the face of suffering.
As a Mary and Dead Jesus statue, it is suitable for expressing suffering, maternal love, compassion, and remembrance. The design allows for adjustments in emotional intensity through expression and posture: an upward gaze emphasizes supplication, a downward gaze emphasizes companionship, and a serene face is more suitable for a quiet memorial setting.
Materials and Craftsmanship
Materials: The Pieta Virgin Mary statue is crafted from select white natural marble.
Craftsmanship: The Mary holding the dead Jesus statue is sculpted entirely by hand. First, the proportions, posture, and body support of the two figures are determined. Then, the face, hands, clothing folds, and hair are gradually refined. Finally, polishing showcases the stone's texture and the curves of the human form.
Actual Production Showcase
In the Pieta Virgin Mary statue, Mary supports Jesus' upper body with one hand, while the other hand is outstretched. Jesus' head is tilted back, his arms hang naturally, and the fabric at his waist connects seamlessly with the Virgin's robe. Photos from the factory environment allow for direct observation of the figures' proportions, stone color, clothing fold depth, and base shape, and also help compare the finished product with the design reference.

Installation Service
The installation of large Madonna and Child statues requires consideration of weight, center of gravity, base connection, and on-site access. On-site installation includes arrival inspection, positioning, hoisting, connection and fixation, and final inspection. Hoisting support positions need to be determined based on the actual structure, protecting protruding parts such as fingers, feet, and veil edges, and avoiding using them as stress points.
Packaging and Transportation
This type of Mary holding dead Jesus statue has protruding arms, feet, and thin drapery edges, requiring packaging designed separately for these parts. A suitable protective layer for the stone is first applied to the surface, followed by cushioning materials and positioning supports to restrict movement.
Reinforced wooden crates are used externally, with packing and unloading sequences arranged according to the overall or segmented shipping plan. Before shipment, we can provide details of the finished product, internal protection, and photos of the sealed box for easy verification upon receipt.
