Christ of Pity supported by a cherub and a seraph 1490

Andrea Mantegna's "Christ of Pity supported by a cherub and a seraph" is a poignant depiction of Christ's suffering after the crucifixion. Painted in 1490, the work showcases Mantegna's mastery of perspective and anatomical detail, evident in the realistic portrayal of Christ's body. The two angels flanking Christ, one with red wings and the other with blue, offer a stark contrast in color and subtly highlight the contrasting nature of the divine and the earthly. The painting is located in the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen, Denmark.
