Lamentation of Christ is a 1550 oil by Alessandro Turchi, a Mannerism work, depicting Jesus Christ, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
This painting depicts a somber scene of Jesus Christ lying on the ground, surrounded by angels. He is shirtless, wearing only a white cloth around his waist, and a red cloth covers his legs. The angels are dressed in various colored robes and appear to be mourning or lamenting. In the background, a dark, hilly landscape stretches out, with a blue sky visible at the top of the painting. The overall mood of the painting is one of sadness and loss. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and emotion, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of Christ.
