About the piece
Painted in 1647 by Alessandro Turchi, this work is a superb example of Italian Baroque chiaroscuro. The artist uses a single candle as the light source, heightening the emotional intensity of the scene and focusing the viewer's attention on the physical vulnerability of Christ and the grief of the surrounding figures. The interplay of deep shadows and luminous flesh tones creates a powerful gallery-worthy presence.
