Lamentation over the Dead Christ is a painting of 1502 in oils on panel by Luca Signorelli, painted for the church of Santa Margherita and now in the Diocesan Museum in Cortona.[1] In the left background is the Crucifixion and in the right background the Resurrection.
According to the 1568 edition of Vasari's Chapel of San Brizio frescoes, which he had almost finished at that time. He added an autograph copy of the work to the fresco on his return to Orvieto at the end of 1502.
Predella
Quicker in style and probably by the master's students but based on drawings by him, the predella shows four more scenes from Christ's Passion: Gethsemane, Last Supper, Arrest and Flagellation.
