"The Dead Christ Mourned (The Three Maries)" is a significant Baroque painting by the Italian artist Annibale Carracci, dating from around 1604. This emotionally charged work depicts the moment of mourning over the dead body of Jesus Christ by the three Marys — Mary Magdalene, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Salome — following the Crucifixion. The painting is renowned for its dramatic expression of grief and its masterful use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth in painting.

Annibale Carracci was a pivotal figure in the transition from the Mannerist style to the Baroque period of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Along with his brother Agostino and cousin Ludovico, Annibale was instrumental in the development of the Bolognese School and was known for his naturalistic approach and the dynamic composition of his works. "The Dead Christ Mourned" is a prime example of Carracci's ability to convey human emotion and to render the human form with both anatomical precision and a deep sense of pathos.

The painting's composition is centered on the lifeless body of Christ, which is laid out horizontally across the foreground, while the three mourning figures display varied expressions of sorrow and devotion. The use of light not only highlights the central figures but also enhances the emotional intensity of the scene. Carracci's skillful handling of the paint and his attention to detail in the depiction of textures, from the soft flesh of Christ to the rich fabrics worn by the women, contribute to the overall impact of the piece.

"The Dead Christ Mourned (The Three Maries)" is held in high esteem not only for its artistic excellence but also for its influence on the development of religious painting during the Baroque era. The work is housed in the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna, Italy, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the canon of Western art.
