This Honors Tutorial College Thesis will argue that Jean Bilhères' vision as a patron with his political and historically French background combined with Michelangelo's views of classicism and Florentine culture and art forms created a new version of a Pietà that redefined the way this sculptural type is viewed and interpreted in art.
