"Mourning the Dead Christ" is a notable Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Benvenuti, commonly known as Ortolano. This work, dating from the early 16th century, is a poignant representation of the Lamentation of Christ, a common subject in Christian art depicting the sorrowful gathering around the body of Jesus following his crucifixion.

Ortolano, active in Ferrara during the High Renaissance, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and the influence of his contemporaries, such as Lorenzo Costa and Garofalo. In "Mourning the Dead Christ," Ortolano's mastery is evident in the delicate rendering of the figures' expressions and the intricate composition that guides the viewer's eye across the scene of mourning.

The painting is characterized by its emotional intensity, with the Virgin Mary, Saint John, and other figures from the New Testament shown in various states of grief. The use of color and light reflects Ortolano's skill in creating a somber yet compelling atmosphere that underscores the tragic nature of the scene.

"Mourning the Dead Christ" is not only a testament to Ortolano's artistic talent but also provides insight into the religious and cultural context of the period. The artwork has been studied for its iconographic elements and is considered an important piece within Ortolano's oeuvre. It remains an exemplary work of the Lamentation theme and contributes to the understanding of Renaissance art and its enduring impact on the visual arts.

The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is often included in discussions of Renaissance art and its representation of biblical themes. It is housed in a notable museum collection, where it continues to be accessible to the public and scholars for appreciation and study.
