Lamentation over the dead Christ, marble panel, c1470-1475, (1881). Creator: J. I
Lamentation over the dead Christ, marble panel, c1470-1475, (1881). Etching of a carved relief made by Bartolomeo Bellano in the early 1470s for the church of SS Trinita in Padua, Italy. The panel possibly formed the central part of an altarpiece, and shows Christ lying in the lap of the Virgin Mary, with Mary Magdalene in the lower left corner kissing Christs right hand. The older man in the top row, (second from left, in profile), may be the donor of the piece. From " The South Kensington Museum", a book of engraved illustrations, with descriptions, of the works of art in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum). [Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, London, 1881]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble panel titled "Lamentation over the dead Christ" created by Bartolomeo Bellano in the late 15th century. The panel, which was originally part of an altarpiece for the church of SS Trinita in Padua, Italy, depicts a poignant scene of grief and mourning. At its center lies Jesus Christ, lifeless in the lap of his mother, the Virgin Mary. Her sorrowful expression reflects her immense pain at losing her beloved son. To Mary's left is Mary Magdalene, tenderly kissing Christ's right hand as she too mourns his passing. Intriguingly, an older man can be seen in profile on the top row – possibly the donor who commissioned this remarkable piece. This composition beautifully captures not only religious devotion but also human emotion and compassion. The black-and-white etching from 1881 adds depth to this timeless artwork while preserving its intricate details. It is featured in "The South Kensington Museum" a book that catalogues engraved illustrations of art housed within London's Victoria & Albert Museum (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum). Through this photo print, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in Christian history and reminded of both our mortal nature and enduring faith. The delicate craftsmanship and emotional intensity make it a true masterpiece that continues to resonate with viewers across centuries.
