"Dead Christ Supported by Two Angels (Pietà)" is a notable early Renaissance painting by the Venetian master Giovanni Bellini, dated to around 1460. This devotional work depicts a poignant scene of the lifeless body of Jesus Christ being cradled by two solemn angels after his crucifixion, a subject known in Christian art as the Pietà. The painting is a testament to Bellini's mastery in capturing human emotion and his innovative use of color and light, which would later influence the Venetian School of painting.

The composition presents a harmonious blend of naturalism and spiritual intensity, with the angels portrayed as youthful and ethereal beings, their expressions reflecting a deep sense of mourning. Christ's figure is rendered with anatomical precision and a profound sense of corporeal weight, emphasizing the reality of his sacrifice. Bellini's use of chiaroscuro and the careful modulation of tones contribute to the work's dramatic impact.

"Dead Christ Supported by Two Angels" is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its place within the context of Bellini's oeuvre and the broader narrative of Italian Renaissance art. The painting showcases Bellini's early engagement with themes of mortality and redemption, motifs he would revisit throughout his career. It also provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 15th-century Venice, where such images played a vital role in personal and communal devotion.

The work is held in high regard for its influence on subsequent generations of artists, including Bellini's own brother-in-law, Andrea Mantegna, and his students, notably Giorgione and Titian. As an exemplar of the Venetian style's beginnings, "Dead Christ Supported by Two Angels" remains an important piece for scholars studying the evolution of Renaissance art and for viewers seeking to understand the era's complex interplay between faith and aesthetics.
