About this work

This painting shows a group of figures gathered around a man lying on a cloth. Two angels with wings stand at the top, holding a red cross with a crown. The figures below look solemn, some touching the man’s body while others hold objects like a spear. The background is dark blue with gold stars and Greek writing at the top. The Greek text at the top likely names the scene, but it’s hard to read. The style looks old, with flat colors and simple shapes. Want to learn more?
