The youth of a genius
No Expiration
Amsterdam Adventurer's Guild
When do you suppose people called geniuses actually become geniuses? Our client has been wondering that about Michelangelo, and wants to take a closer look at his earlier works. I trust you to do an objective study. You should look for clues around Genoa.

1. An oddly balanced work
It seems even the genius Michelangelo made mistake when he was young. There is a piece by him when he was 25 years old, called Pieta.
Mary should have been old by the time Jesus was executed, but in the picture, Mary is young and is larger than Jesus.

2. Interpretation
Whoever said that knows nothing about art. True, Mary is young and bigger than Jesus. But that's a representation of her motherhood.
If Jesus was bigger, it won't be an expression of her sorrow. Go to the church in Naples and witness the genius for yourself.

3. Someone a little different from the norm
Michelangelo's genius was apparent even at a young age. I should go see the Pieta at the church in Naples.
It should be located near the altar.

The Pieta ★★★ (Work of art) Exp:451 Fame:190
A marble statue by Michelangelo. An image of the Virgin Mary embracing the executed body of Jesus. This vivid depiction of the human form and the pleats in the clothes make it hard to believe that this is cold stone. Mary appears to be young compared to Jesus, but this is simply one form of expression.
I have used over 30 qmps trying to find this quest, still no sign of it. -_-
