Lamentation for the death of Christ

BramantinoBetween 1515 and 1520

Sforzesco Castle

Sforzesco Castle
Milan, Italy

In the foreground is the scene of lamentation for the death of Christ, against the background of imposing classical architecture, including a polygonal building and a portico.
In this painting, Bramantino experiments with complex light effects: a greyish light flows on the body of Christ in the foreground, on the mortuary cloth and on the dimly lit faces in the background.
