Fan Casting Pietà Plagiarism(Virgin Mary and Christ Symbolism)

Description of Pietà Plagiarism (Virgin Mary and Christ Symbolism):

Michelangelo Buonarroti's sculpture depicting The Virgin Mary holding the body of the crucified Christ is the best-known example of one of the most popular poses in art. There is a whole class of artwork, referred to as "pietàs", that depict Mary (usually seated) holding the dead Jesus, going back to at least the early 14th century. This specific pose is often used either following a Heroic Sacrifice or on a comic book cover, in which case it will likely be accompanied by a Tonight, Someone Dies. It's frequently gender-flipped (i.e. the man holding a dead/dying/comatose woman).
