Lamentation Over the Dead Christ

Paduan 15th Century

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a relief depicting a scene with four figures. The central figure is shown lying down, supported by three other individuals. Two standing figures are on either side, offering support, while the third stands behind the central figure. The figures seem to be interacting closely with the central figure. The sculpture is carved from dark, aged metal with a brownish color. The surface has a textured finish that highlights the figures, clothing, and expressions. The rectangular relief has a slightly curved top with a narrow border outlining the scene, encased in a simple frame.
