Bewening van Christus 17th century

"Bewening van Christus" (Lamentation of Christ) is a 17th-century red chalk drawing by the Italian Baroque artist Luca Giordano. The drawing depicts the sorrowful scene of Christ's body being mourned by his followers, with Mary Magdalene kneeling at his feet. This intimate composition, showcasing Giordano's masterful use of line and shading, is a testament to his talent and a poignant portrayal of a significant Christian event. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
