Pietà

The dead Christ is supported by the Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist. His body is wrapped in a shroud, which also covers his head.
In the background there stands out an impressively bleak and stony-looking mountain. The cave is probably an allusion to the grave hewn out of the rock in which, according to the Gospel story, Joseph of Arimathea laid the Saviour’s body.
The refined work, intended for private devotion, is datable to between 1435 and 1440.
