The Pieta is a city located in Malta. It serves as a geographical location within the island nation's territory.
While "Pieta" is also a prominent subject in Christian art, it refers to a specific depiction of the Blessed Virgin Mary cradling the body of Jesus Christ following his Descent from the Cross. In artistic practice, these works are often found as sculptures and represent a form of the Lamentation of Christ where Mary mourns alone, though they may occasionally include other figures such as angels or donor portraits.
