"Dead Christ with Angels" is a Baroque painting by Giulio Cesare Procaccini, a prominent Italian artist of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The painting depicts the body of Christ lying on a slab, surrounded by angels and a grieving figure, likely Mary Magdalene. The dramatic composition, with its emphasis on light and shadow, is characteristic of Procaccini's style, which combined the influence of Caravaggio with a more classical sensibility. The work is now housed in the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh.
