The Lamentation of the Dead Christ shirt
[marai-5]

The Lamentation of the Dead Christ who is supported by the Virgin Mary and surrounded by other figures.

The incident is not described in the Gospels, but the lamentation over the dead Christ had become a traditional subject for depiction; unusually, this picture shows only women mourners. Christ rests on the Virgin's lap.

Saint Mary Magdalene is probably the prominent kneeling figure on the right. Apart from the Virgin, the other women are likely to be Mary, the mother of James, and Mary Salome.
