The Dead Christ Supported by the Virgin Mary and Saint John

Hans Multscher

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular, bronze-colored plaque with raised figures. The plaque is made of metal and has a dark brown patina. The central figure is a nude man with a halo, lying on a flat surface. He is flanked by two figures with halos: - one on the left wears a head covering and a robe, and supports the man's head - one on the right wears a robe. Above them are two winged figures with halos. The bottom of the plaque features an inscription in Latin. The background gradient fades from black at the top to white at the bottom.
