Painted in 1635, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 114x207 cm and is currently housed in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten in Antwerp, Belgium. The painting depicts a scene of profound grief and mourning as figures surround the lifeless body of Jesus Christ. The composition evokes intense emotions with its depiction of limp bodies draped in sorrowful drapery. The saintly figures, both male and female, express their deep sadness through weeping and lamentation. Van Dyck's masterful use of light and shadow adds to the dramatic atmosphere of the artwork.
