Only work ever signed by Michelangelo (5)

I believe the answer is:

pieta

(Other definitions for pieta that I've seen before include "Statue of Mary with the dead Christ" , "Devotional painting" , "Statue of Virgin Mary" , "Religious representation" , "Religious work resulting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
