"Christ in Limbo" (also known as "The Descent into Limbo") is a fresco painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea Mantegna, created circa 1470. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes that Mantegna painted in the private chapel of Ludovico III Gonzaga, the Marquis of Mantua, which is known as the Camera degli Sposi (Bridal Chamber) located in the Ducal Palace of Mantua. This particular fresco is notable for its depiction of the moment when Christ, following his Crucifixion, descends to the realm of the dead, referred to as "Limbo" in Christian theology, to free the souls of the righteous who had died before his Incarnation.

Mantegna's "Christ in Limbo" showcases his mastery of perspective and his ability to convey complex theological concepts through art. The composition features a powerful Christ at the center, who is breaking down the gates of Limbo, surrounded by various figures from the Old Testament, including Adam and Eve, King David, and John the Baptist, who are often represented in this narrative. The figures are rendered with a sculptural solidity and attention to detail that are characteristic of Mantegna's work.

The fresco is admired for its dramatic use of foreshortening and its vivid portrayal of the figures' emotions, ranging from awe to relief, as they encounter the Savior. Mantegna's innovative approach to spatial illusion and his incorporation of classical antiquity references into a Christian subject matter make "Christ in Limbo" a significant example of the Renaissance's merging of humanist and religious ideals.

As a part of the Camera degli Sposi, "Christ in Limbo" contributes to the overall iconography of the room, which celebrates the power and piety of the Gonzaga family. The frescoes in the chamber are considered some of Mantegna's finest work and are a key attraction in the Ducal Palace, reflecting the cultural and artistic achievements of the Italian Renaissance.
