Bewening van de dode Christus before 1600

"Bewening van de dode Christus" (Lamentation Over the Dead Christ), a black chalk drawing on paper by Italian Renaissance artist Federico Barocci, depicts a somber scene of mourning figures gathered around the lifeless body of Christ. The composition, created before 1600, is characterized by the artist's distinctive use of light and shadow, conveying a sense of both grief and reverence. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
