Lamentation over the dead Christ

ID: #1305 | Renaissance | Religious

This painting depicts a funeral scene where several figures in historical clothing hold and mourn a body. In the foreground we see a man being supported and held by two other figures while a woman wipes his face. In the background, we see more people and a landscape with buildings reminiscent of the biblical era. The art style and clothing suggest that the work dates from the Renaissance period.

Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). German painter whose work was produced in a period of great social movements associated with the Reformation. He represents a turning point of the German Gothic style. His creativity, vigour and sensitivity led to the creation of rich and perfect art. Contact with Italian artists allowed him to transfer inspiration from the Renaissance style (humanism, Greco-Roman classicism, Mediterranean bright colors, etc.) to the height of the German Gothic.
