"The Lamentation" depicts the sorrow of Christ's followers after his crucifixion. Lucas Cranach the Elder, a prominent German Renaissance artist, painted the scene with a focus on emotional realism. The figures are arranged in a semi-circle around the body of Christ, emphasizing the solemn gravity of the moment. The painting is a powerful testament to the suffering and grief of this pivotal event in Christian history.
