"Lamentation over the Body of Christ" (1628-29) is a significant oil painting by the French painter Nicolas Poussin, a leading figure of the classical French Baroque style. This artwork is one of Poussin's early works, created during his first stay in Rome, where he was deeply influenced by the antiquities and the works of Renaissance masters. The painting depicts a poignant scene from the Christian narrative of the Passion, capturing the moment after the Crucifixion when Christ's body has been taken down from the cross and mourned by his followers.

In "Lamentation over the Body of Christ," Poussin demonstrates his mastery of composition and his ability to convey deep emotion through the arrangement of figures and the use of light and shadow. The painting is characterized by its somber palette and the careful attention to the anatomical accuracy of the human body, reflecting Poussin's study of both classical sculpture and the human form. The figures are arranged in a manner that leads the viewer's eye across the canvas, with the lifeless body of Christ forming the central axis around which the other characters' grief is displayed.

The work exemplifies Poussin's commitment to the ideals of clarity, order, and harmony, which would become hallmarks of his mature style. It also reflects the influence of the Counter-Reformation, which emphasized the emotional and devotional aspects of religious art. "Lamentation over the Body of Christ" is a testament to Poussin's ability to blend his intellectual approach to painting with a powerful expression of human emotion, making it a significant contribution to the Baroque period and to the history of art.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection at the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Ponce, Puerto Rico, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
