The Madonna della Pietà colloquially known as La Pietà (Italian: [maˈdɔnna della pjeˈta]; 1498–1499) is a Roman Catholic Italian Carrara marble sculpture of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary at Mount Golgotha, a subject in art known as the Pietà.
The scene of the Pietà was depicted by Perugino under a portico, a typical theme of his art in the 1480s and 1490s (used for example in the Albani-Torlonia Polyptych of the Madonna with Child Enthroned between Saints John the Baptist and Sebastian). The serene landscape with light trees is also common in his paintings of the period.
