The Dead Christ with Two Angels

Bartolomeo Bellano

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sculpted relief featuring a central figure with long hair, a beard, and a crown of thorns, positioned in front of a cross. The central figure has eyes closed and hands crossed over its torso, displaying marks or wounds. Two smaller angelic figures with wings are on either side, kneeling and holding their hands together. The sculpture is made of a golden material, giving it a rich and luminous appearance. It is set within a rectangular frame, and the background features an arch pattern at the bottom.
