"Dead Christ Supported by Angels", created by Giovanni Bellini in 1474, is a poignant depiction of the death of Christ. The painting, located in the Museo della città di Rimini, Italy, showcases Bellini's mastery of Renaissance art. The lifeless body of Christ, with a crown of thorns and wounds, is supported by two angels. The meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of the body, combined with the angelic figures, evoke a sense of both sorrow and divine reverence. This artwork is a powerful example of the Venetian painter's ability to capture the human form and depict the emotional weight of a religious theme.
