"Lamentation of the Dead Christ" is a notable work attributed to the Italian Renaissance painter Giovanni Santi, also known as Giovanni di Santi or more famously as the father of Raphael Sanzio. The painting, which dates from the late 15th century, is an evocative representation of the biblical scene of the Lamentation, where the body of Jesus Christ is mourned by his followers after the Crucifixion and before the Resurrection.

Giovanni Santi's rendition of this poignant moment is characterized by its emotional intensity and the delicate interplay of gestures and gazes among the figures surrounding Christ's body. The composition typically features the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, Saint John the Evangelist, and other mourners in various states of grief. The work is a testament to Santi's skill in conveying human emotion and his understanding of religious iconography, which would later influence the artistic development of his son, Raphael.

While the exact date of creation is uncertain, the painting is believed to have been produced during Santi's mature period, when he was working in Urbino and had established himself as a painter of religious subjects and altarpieces. The "Lamentation of the Dead Christ" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for providing insight into the transitional period of Italian art, where the early Renaissance was giving way to the High Renaissance.

The painting's current location is not universally documented, and its provenance has been a subject of art historical inquiry. As with many works of the period, the attribution to Giovanni Santi has been debated, and some scholars have suggested the involvement of his workshop or other contemporaneous artists. Nevertheless, the "Lamentation of the Dead Christ" remains an important work within the oeuvre of Giovanni Santi and is studied for its stylistic connections to the Urbino school and its impact on the early works of Raphael.
