Both make dramatic use of light and shade. Here Christ’s pale, limp body is highlighted by a white shroud. The two men crucified alongside Christ still hang on their crosses, their slumped bodies obscuring their heads. The ‘good thief’, who recognised Christ and was saved, is bathed in subtle light while the ‘bad thief’ is in shadow.\n\nOn the right, two men – Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea – balance the verticals of the crosses and form a frame to the subject. Beside their feet lies a grief-stricken Mary Magdalene; her head is the start of a diagonal path upwards, through Christ, the Virgin and Saint John and up the ladders to the dark cloud above. The blue sky beyond implies that there is hope: Christ’s resurrection.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/giovanni-domenico-tiepolo-the-lamentation-at-the-foot-of-the-cross\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Lamentation at the Foot of the Cross\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509617529075,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (25 1\/4\" x 16 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509617561843,"sku":null,"price":782.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (22\" x 14 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509617594611,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (26 7\/8\" x 17 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509617627379,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (33\" x 22\")","offer_id":50509617660147,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (42 1\/2\" x 28 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509617692915,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (51\" x 34\")","offer_id":50509617725683,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (60 1\/8\" x 40\")","offer_id":50509617758451,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (72 1\/8\" x 48 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509617791219,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/TheLamentationattheFootoftheCross2.jpg?v=1789212788","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-lamentation-at-the-foot-of-the-cross-ngal688","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
