1. The problem asks for the artistic term describing an image of Mary holding her dead son Jesus. 2. This is a common subject in Christian art, especially in sculpture and painting. 3. The term "Pietà" specifically refers to this depiction. 4. Other options like "Pisa" (a city), "Sacra Conversazione" (a type of religious painting with saints), and "Madonna" (general term for Mary) do not specifically mean Mary holding Jesus dead. 5. Therefore, the correct answer is **Pietà**. **Final answer: c. Pietà**
