About the piece
Painted in 1901 by Jakob Smits, this 'Lamentation of Christ' is a powerful exercise in spiritual emotion and material texture. The mourning figures, shrouded in deep crimson and navy, lean over the central subject against a luminous, roughly-hewn gold background that evokes the solemnity of Byzantine icons reinterpreted through an early modern lens.
