Lamentation of Christ

A painted lamentation shows the dead Christ stretched across a white cloth on rocky ground, surrounded by grieving haloed figures and a kneeling older man. Behind them a tall cross and ladder stand on a hill above a river valley, with a town and distant mountains. Painted on panel in a Renaissance style.
