Flemish school; 17th century. "The Lamentation of Christ". Oil on copper. With faults. It has an 18th century Spanish frame with faults. Measurements: 20 x 15 cm; 43 x 28 cm (frame). It is a very emotional subject, fruit of the popular piety, which concentrates the attention on the drama of the Passion and the loving and sorrowful contemplation, with a realistic and moving sense. In Byzantium, and in Byzantine-influenced representations, the figure of Christ rests on the anointing slab, where his corpse was perfumed and prepared for burial, which later in Italian art became the tomb. This scene is not referred to in the Gospels, but finds its origin in mystical literature and religious texts of piety, as well as in those of the confraternities of flagellants. In the canonical Gospels and in the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus it is narrated how Joseph of Arimathea buried the body of Jesus, but there is no mention of the lamentations of his mother and followers, because the same texts say that they were at a distance contemplating the event.
