Description
Italian school; circa 1700.
"Lamentation over the body of the dead Christ".
Oil on canvas.
It retains its original canvas.
It presents slight restorations and a patch on the back.
Measurements: 69 x 61 cm; 78 x 69 cm (frame).
The body of Christ lies dead on his shroud, supported by St. John of Arimathea, St. John and Nicodemus. The scene is completed by the presence of two women, one of them completely visible to the viewer, and the other leaning in grief over this young lady, dressed in a blue cloak, so that she is the representation of the Virgin and Mary Magdalene. The scene is completely dramatic, largely due to the light treatment that focuses a spotlight in the centre, revealing the lifeless, stony skin of Christ's legs, while the face and chest are completely in semi-darkness.
The scene of the lamentation or weeping over the body of the dead Christ is part of the Passion cycle, and is inserted between the Descent from the Cross and the Holy Burial. It narrates the moment when the body of Christ is placed on a shroud (in other cases, on the anointing stone) and his mother, Saint John, the holy women, Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus gather around him, weeping and wailing. It is a highly emotional theme, the fruit of popular piety, which concentrates attention on the drama of the Passion and the loving and sorrowful contemplation, with a realistic and moving sense. In Byzantium, and in Byzantine-influenced representations, the figure of Christ rests on the anointing slab, where his corpse was perfumed and prepared for burial, which later in Italian art became the tomb. This scene is not referred to in the Gospels, but finds its origin in mystical literature and religious texts of piety, as well as in those of the confraternities of flagellants.
