"Lamentation over the Dead Christ" (1485) is a significant Renaissance painting by the Venetian artist Carlo Crivelli, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and his distinctive, highly ornamental style. This work depicts the traditional Christian scene of the Lamentation of Christ, where the lifeless body of Jesus is mourned by his followers after the Crucifixion and before the Resurrection. Crivelli's interpretation of this poignant moment is characterized by its emotional intensity and the artist's elaborate use of symbolism and iconography.

The painting is executed in tempera on panel, a medium typical of the time, which allowed Crivelli to achieve a luminous quality and intricate detail in his work. Measuring 87 x 71 cm, the artwork presents a group of figures gathered around the dead Christ, including the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist, and Mary Magdalene, each expressing their grief in a manner that reflects their relationship to Jesus.

Crivelli's work is distinguished by its architectural precision and the use of gold leaf, which highlights the sacred nature of the scene. The artist's use of perspective and foreshortening demonstrates his mastery of the techniques developed during the early Renaissance, while his inclusion of still-life elements, such as the detailed depiction of the crown of thorns and the nails from the Crucifixion, adds a layer of realism to the composition.

"Lamentation over the Dead Christ" is a testament to Carlo Crivelli's unique position in the Venetian school, as he combined the influence of his contemporaries with his own idiosyncratic approach to religious subjects. The painting is not only a reflection of the devotional practices of the time but also an example of the rich visual culture that flourished in Italy during the late 15th century. Today, the artwork is held in high regard for its artistic merit and contribution to the narrative of Renaissance art history.
