A fact from Pietà (Titian) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 September 2017 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Titian intended his painting of the Pietà to hang over his grave, but it never did?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2017/September. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pietà (Titian).

"represented as if he saw his also upcoming death in the Christ's face"

It seems to me that Nicodemus (Titian) is looking at Mary rather than at Christ. This struck me as particularly poignant when I saw the painting recently in L'Accademia. Check the eyelines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boygobbo (talk • contribs) 19:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
