From the collection of Clark Art Institute
Dead Christ with Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus (Sepulcrum Christi) is a 1498 unspecified by Pietro Montanini, a Early Renaissance work, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting shows three figures surrounding the body of Christ, who is depicted as deceased and seated on a stone slab. The figure to the left is dressed in green and purple, while the one to the right wears red and blue. Both figures have halos around their heads. The scene is set against a dark background, which helps to emphasize the figures and the body of Christ. The overall mood of the painting is somber and contemplative.
