Tax included
The Lamentation over the Dead Christ
Print made by: Bernard Picart (1673-1733).
Artist: after Rembrandt (1606-1669).
Production date: 1734.
Size: 21,7x27,4 cms.
Condition: one piece of paper is missing on left margin as can be seen in the image. Some tape at the back to strengthen the margins.
The image shows Christ on the floor having descended from the crucifix, with the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and various other figures weeping over his body. Carefully constructed to reference other events from the story of Christ's suffering and death, the two hanging thieves connect with the Crucifixion, whilst the figures climbing down the ladders recall the Deposition. The man in the distance wearing elegant attire and a feathered hat appears to suggest Joseph of Arimathaea, the man whom provided the tomb for Christ's entombment.
