1550
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Dominant colour
Untitled is a 1550 by Michelangelo, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This black-and-white print shows a muscular man slumped on a rock, his head tilted back. A hooded figure kneels beside him, holding his arm, while a child clings to the man’s side. Behind them, a winged figure with a halo stretches out a hand, as if offering comfort or support. The scene looks tense but quiet, with strong lines showing the weight of the figures. The artist used deep shadows and sharp contrasts to make the forms stand out. Look up *lamentation of christ* to see how this scene fits into a bigger story.
A print on paper depicts a dead Christ flanked by angels, attributed to Michelangelo and inscribed "M.A. INVENTOR."
