About the piece

Attributed to the Italian master Francesco Trevisani, this mid-18th-century painting captures the tender moment of angels supporting the body of Christ. The composition is marked by Trevisani's characteristic softness and a luminous palette, where the deep lapis blue of an angel's robe contrasts strikingly with the pale, divine light illuminating the central figures. It is an exquisite example of late Baroque emotionality and technical refinement.
