"Lamentation" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung Grien, a prominent painter, printmaker, and draughtsman known for his religious compositions, portraits, and allegorical scenes. Created in the early 16th century, this artwork is a poignant representation of the biblical scene of the Lamentation of Christ, which depicts the sorrowful gathering around the body of Jesus Christ following his crucifixion.

Baldung, born Hans Baldung in 1484/85 and later surnamed Grien or Grün, was a member of the Northern Renaissance and a contemporary of Albrecht Dürer. His style is characterized by a unique blend of Gothic tradition and the emerging Renaissance sensibilities, marked by expressive emotionality and often complex iconography. "Lamentation" exemplifies Baldung's skillful use of color, detailed figuration, and the emotional intensity that is typical of his religious works.

The painting captures the moment after Christ's descent from the cross, where he is mourned by key figures from the New Testament, including the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Saint John the Evangelist. The composition often features these figures in a state of grief and despair, with Mary Magdalene typically shown anointing Christ's feet, and the Virgin Mary cradling her son's head or collapsed in anguish.

While the exact date of creation for "Lamentation" is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced during Baldung's mature period, which is often dated from 1510 to his death in 1545. During this time, Baldung was heavily influenced by Dürer, with whom he worked in Nuremberg, but he also developed a distinctive style that set his work apart from his mentor and other contemporaries.

"Lamentation" by Hans Baldung Grien is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of Northern Renaissance art. The work is often analyzed for its emotional impact, use of color, and the way in which it reflects the religious and cultural milieu of the time. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the period and the artist's oeuvre. The painting can be found in one of the various art collections that house Baldung's work, which includes notable museums and galleries across Europe.
