"Beweinung Christi," also known as "Compianto su Cristo deposto," is a significant Baroque painting by the Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in the 17th century, this work exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting religious scenes with intense emotion and dramatic realism. The painting portrays the lamentation over the dead Christ, a common theme in Christian art that captures the moment after Jesus' crucifixion when his body is mourned by his followers.

Ribera, who spent most of his career in Italy, was heavily influenced by Caravaggio's use of chiaroscuro, which is evident in the stark contrasts of light and shadow in "Beweinung Christi." This technique enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and emphasizes the somber mood of the scene. The composition typically features the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, Saint John, and other figures from the New Testament, all expressing grief in their own ways, which Ribera captures with poignant individuality.

The painting is noted for its emotional intensity, with each mourner's face and posture reflecting a deep sense of sorrow and devotion. Ribera's attention to detail, from the tears on the cheeks of the mourners to the textures of their garments, adds to the visceral impact of the work. "Beweinung Christi" is not only a testament to Ribera's skill as a painter but also an example of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on engaging the faithful through evocative and accessible religious imagery.

As a significant work by Ribera, "Beweinung Christi" has been studied for its artistic and historical importance. It is often discussed in the context of Ribera's oeuvre and the broader trends of Baroque art in the 17th century. The painting is a valuable piece for understanding the cultural and religious milieu of the period, as well as the stylistic developments that characterized European painting at the time.
