Measuring an impressive 163 x 218.5 cm, this oil on panel masterpiece is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The emotional power of this artwork is palpable as it depicts a scene of profound grief and lamentation. At its center stands the Virgin Mary cradling the lifeless body of her son, Jesus Christ. Her tear-streaked face reflects unimaginable sorrow while conveying a mother's unconditional love. To the left of Mary stands an unknown donor dressed as a canon, symbolizing those who commissioned Quarton to create this poignant piece. On her right side stands Saint John the Evangelist, his expression mirroring deep sadness and empathy for Mary's loss. Completing the composition is Saint Madeleine, portrayed with tears streaming down her face as she mourns alongside them.
