"The Lamentation" is a fifteenth-century oil on oak painting by Netherlandish painter Petrus Christus. The artwork, measuring 31cm × 27cm, is currently part of the collection at the National Gallery in Washington D.C

The painting depicts the biblical scene of the lamentation of Christ, focusing on the moment of sorrow and mourning after Jesus Christ's crucifixion. The central figures present in the artwork include the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist, and Mary Magdalene, shown expressing their grief over Christ's death.

The Lamentation demonstrates Christus' distinctive style of painting, characterized by attentiveness to minute detail and a penchant for nuanced expressions of emotion in his characters. It also reflects the trends of the Early Netherlandish painting from the period, particularly the emphasis on human emotional expression within a religious context.

This painting is believed to have been created towards the end of Christus' career, circa 1455-60, when the artist was apparently experimenting with complex composition and space. It encapsulates the themes of mortality, redemption, and the interplay between divine and mundane - themes characteristic of the devotional paintings of the era.

While the painting has been attributed to Christus based on stylistic analysis and comparison to his other works, there is no surviving documentary evidence to definitively prove this. However, its attribution to Christus is widely accepted in the academic community.

In the present day, "The Lamentation" is celebrated for its artistic symbolism, attention to detail, and the skillful depiction of human emotion.
