About the piece

Painted around 1637 by Anthony van Dyck, this powerful work is a definitive example of Flemish Baroque emotional intensity. The composition focuses on the pale form of Christ, mourned by a luminous Mary Magdalene in golden robes and the Virgin Mary in deep shadow, while angels weep at his side against a turbulent sky.
