The Dead Christ Mourned (The Three Maries)

The Dead Christ Mourned (The Three Maries) is a powerful religious painting by Annibale Carracci, created around 1604 on canvas using oil. This Baroque masterpiece captures an emotionally intense moment of grief—Christ's lamentation after his crucifixion, surrounded by the three Marys. Considered one of the most poignant images in the Baroque tradition, it vividly conveys sorrow and compassion. The painting was once part of the Orleans Collection before entering the British national collection in 1798, eventually being donated to the National Gallery, London.
