The Lamentation Of Christ – End Of The 18th Century

Large oil on panel from a Flemish school from the end of the 18th or the beginning of the 19th century in an elegant carved and gilded frame. The body of Christ taken down from the cross is laid out on the anointing stone before his burial.
Joseph of Arimathea grabs a shroud to wrap the body of Christ, while the weeping Virgin is depicted towards the head of her son. Saint John delicately takes Christ's hand while Mary Magdalene, at the foot of the Savior, hides her face.
Two angels, an original feature of this work, frame the scene, one of which carries the Holy Cross.
Some cracks in the wood and micro losses and detachments.
