A superbly composed early 17th century oil on canvas Veronese School painting depicting the Lamentation of Christ. With vibrancy of colours so typical of the school the painting is clearly well composed from an old master of the period.


The "Lamentation of Christ" is a subject in Christian art depicting the immediate aftermath of Christ's crucifixion, where his body is mourned by his followers. This scene is a common subject in Christian art, often appearing in cycles of the Life of Christ and as individual works. A specific type of Lamentation, known as the Pietà, focuses on Mary cradling the dead Christ.
Much of the Veronese School work produced was religious themed and the painter has capsules the atmosphere superbly. Many of the religious themed paintings from the school have the use of strong tonality and vibrancy contrasting with darkened backgrounds.

The Veronese school of painting in the 17th century refers to artists who continued the style and traditions established by Paolo Veronese (1528-1588) in Venice during the late 16th century. While Veronese himself died in 1588, his workshop continued under his brother and sons, and his influence permeated Venetian art in the 17th century. This period characterised by a continuation of Veronese's vibrant colour palettes, elaborate compositions, and focus on historical and religious narratives. The Veronese's workshop, initially led by his brother Benedetto and later by his sons Gabriele and Carlo, remained active until the early 17th century.

Many Venetian painters in the early 17th century drew inspiration from Veronese, Tintoretto, and Titian, leading to a "Neo-Veronesian" movement.
