Lamentation over the Dead Christ

Artist	Sandro Botticelli
Year	1490–1492
Medium	Tempera on panel
Dimensions	140 cm × 207 cm (55 in × 81 in)
Location	Alte Pinakothek, Munich

The portrait shows the inert body of Christ surrounded by the Virgin, St. Peter, and Mary Magdalene, St. John the Evangelist, St. Jerome and St. Paul.

The pathetic expressions of the characters were a novelty in Botticelli's art: under the spiritual influence of Savonarola's preachings in Florence, which began around the time the work was executed, he started in fact to abandon the allegoric inspiration that had made him a favourite of the Medici court in favour of more intimate and painstaking religious reflection.[1]
