Pietà (Cosmè Tura)

Pietà is a tempera on panel painting by Cosmè Tura, measuring 47.7 cm by 33.5 cm. It is now in the Museo Correr in Venice, to which it was left with the rest of the collection of Teodoro Correr on 1 January 1830.[1] It was attributed to Luca d'Olanda until 1859, when Vincenzo Lazari recognised it as a work by Tura. By comparison with the same artist's Calliope and his Roverella Altarpiece, it has been dated to the 1460s.[2]
