"The Lamentation" is a religious painting by the prominent Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens. Painted in the early 17th century, this exhibits Rubens' quintessential Baroque artistic style and illustrates the Biblical story of the Lamentation of Christ, an episode in Christian religious tradition portraying the period following Jesus' crucifixion when his followers mourn over his body.

The piece approximately 241 cm × 210 cm and it is currently housed in the Antwerp Cathedral in Belgium, serving as a significant representation of Rubens' vibrant, dramatic and emotional style. Famed for its intense physical realism, emotive dynamism, and intricate detailing, "The Lamentation" embodies Rubens’ ability to convey profound religious narratives in an intensely human, accessible way.

In the painting, figures of Mary Magdalene, the Virgin Mary and St. John the Evangelist, among others, are depicted mourning over the lifeless body of Christ. The expressive components and the overall composition reflect Rubens' mastery in capturing raw human emotions and his capability to manifest a poignant narrative. The artist’s spectacular use of light and shadow, alongside his rich palette, further elicits the somber and, at the same time, sacred mood of the scene.

"The Lamentation" by Rubens, therefore, is not just a painting but a narrative masterpiece encapsulating the essence of Baroque art – a blend of reality, spirituality, emotion, and drama – making it one of the pivotal works in understanding Rubens' artistic genius and the greater Baroque period.
