Pietà or The Dead Christ Supported by the Virgin Mary and St John the Evangelist is a tempera on panel painting by Giovanni Bellini, now in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.
It dates to around 1470, when the painter was beginning to outgrow the influence of Andrea Mantegna, his brother-in-law. Via the Sampieri collection in Bologna (catalogue number), it entered its present home in 1811 as a gift to the Kingdom of Italy by Eugene de Beauharnais.[1]
