Dead Christ with Angels

"Dead Christ with Angels," also known as "Four Angels Lamenting the Dead Christ," is an evocative religious painting by Rosso Fiorentino created around 1525–1526. This Mannerist (late renaissance) work features a stark portrayal of the dead Christ, surrounded by four angelic figures mourning his loss. The painting is notable for its expressive figures, elongated forms, and emotional intensity, exemplifying Fiorentino’s innovative style within the context of late Renaissance art. Currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, it continues to be a powerful example of religious-themed Mannerist artwork.
