This is how The Pieta look like in my imagination, the background was replaced with the inside of a different church in Italy.
This is the actual Pieta at current location in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City:
The Pietà (Italian, English: "The Pity"; 1498–1499)
is a Renaissance sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti.
The statue was commissioned for the French Cardinal Jean de Bilhères, who was a Representative in Rome. The sculpture, in Carrara marble, was made for the cardinal's funeral monument, but was moved to St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City.
This famous work of art depicts the body of Jesus on the lap of his mother Mary after the Crucifixion. Michelangelo's interpretation of the Pietà is unprecedented in Italian sculpture. It is an important work as it balances the Renaissance ideals of classical beauty with naturalism.
Michelangelo's Pietà has been deemed "one of the finest sculptural masterpieces in the world".
