Lamentation over the dead Christ

The painting depicts a religious scene in which the central figures are Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene with two other women and three angels. Jesus sits half-naked on a white robe on the ground, with a cross behind him, expressing pain and suffering. Mary Magdalene holds his hand and looks up to him with deep compassion. The painting is done in warm colors with a dark background, which enhances the figures in the foreground.

Anthonis van Dyck (1599-1641). One of the most important Flemish painters. Initially, like most painters of his time, he painted mainly mythological and religious scenes. Later, at the age of thirty, he specialized in portraits (in Rubens’ style). He painted in a subtle range of colours, often contrasted with a black background. He placed his models between different architectural elements or curtains and painted them in magnificent clothes. The composition was very dynamic for the time, the anatomy of his figures sophisticated. The style of his portraits differs greatly from his mythological paintings. His portraits are a little melancholy, closed and reserved, unlike the spectacular and dramatic canvases with mythological themes.
