Lamentation Of The Virgin With The Magdalene Over Christ - Italy XVIIth Century

Lamentation Of The Virgin With The Magdalen On Christ
Oil painting on canvas
Italy, Roman school
end of the XVIIth
Canvas cm. 76 x 102 frame 90 x 117

This beautiful painting from the end of the 17th century depicts the dramatic moment which sees the lifeless body of Christ taken down from the Cross and raised to the ground.
The Mother erect with her hands in prayer and the kneeling Magdalene kissing the hand of Jesus, desperate in excruciating pain.
In the dark sky a light shines on three cherubs.
Two angels standing next to Christ show the symbols of passion and their naked bodies with bright complexions contrast with the stretched, elongated and lifeless figure.
The play of shadows and light is very marked and the chiaroscuro effect creates the volume of the characters and gives the scene a threen dimensionality while increasing its drama.
The canvas is in excellent condition cleaned in our workshop (see photos before work).
A beautiful gilded and molded frame perfectly completes the work.
