The Pietà is an oil on canvas painting, one of the last paintings by Titian, from 1575-1576. In its final, extended state it was left incomplete at his death, in 1576, to be completed by Palma Giovane. Titian had intended it to hang over his grave, and the two stages of painting were to make it fit in two different churches. It is now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia, in Venice.
