The Trinity with angels with the Arma Christi is a 1512 oil by Unknown, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting depicts a poignant scene of lamentation, with a central figure being mourned by a group of angels. The angels are dressed in flowing robes, with one holding a staff and another cradling the central figure's head. The background is a warm, golden hue, with a subtle gradient that adds depth to the scene. In the foreground, the central figure is shown in a state of repose, surrounded by the angels. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of volume and texture, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. The overall mood of the painting is one of somber reflection, inviting the viewer to contemplate the scene. The painting is held at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
