Lamentation 1525

Jacopo Pontormo's *Lamentation* (1525) depicts the sorrowful scene following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The painting, characterized by elongated figures and emotional intensity, showcases Pontormo's High Renaissance style. The figures are clustered around the body of Christ, their expressions of grief and despair adding to the dramatic impact of the scene. The use of muted, earthy tones creates a somber atmosphere, reflecting the profound sorrow of the event. This work, while lacking a definitive location, is considered a significant example of Pontormo's artistic mastery and a powerful portrayal of religious devotion.
