ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Lamentation is a 1475 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a scene of mourning. It's interesting because the colors used are not just black and white, but also bright colors like green, red, and yellow. This suggests the artist wanted to add emotion to the scene. The artist used a technique called woodcut to create this image, which is similar to what artist German 15th Century used in other works, and to learn more, look up the technique: woodcut.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
