The Lamentation over the Dead Christ by Juan Correa de Vivar

Travel photography Family-friendly: true

Ca. 1550. Oil on panel, 123 x 92 cm.

This panel depicts the moment when the dead Christ's body has been lowered from the cross and is attended at its foot by the Virgin, Saint John and Mary Magdalene. In the middle-ground are Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus and one of the Holy Women. The panel must have been part of a larger work of which nothing is now known.
