Description

Oil on canvas. Copy of the famous painting of Annibale Carracci, made between 1604-1606 and today preserved at the National Gallery of London. The scene takes place in front of the cave of the sepulcher where Jesus is going to be buried; we can see the gravestone that creates a neutral backgruond on the right of the painting, broken up by a fragment of landscape on the upper left corner where the colored figures stand out. Those are placed in ascending order along the diagonal outlined by the group in the foreground that starts from the Jesus's body, lying dead agaisnt Virgin Mary's womb who's also supported by one of the Maries. A seconf diagonal is outlined by the other two figures, the desperated Magdalene and the third Mary, almost wrapped by darkness. The dismay of the Maries contrasts the dead body's of Christ and the inertia of the fainted Virgin Mary; while the attention of Magdalene is focused on Jesus, the other women are focused on the Mother. Magdalene can be recognized by the gaudy colors of her robe that, compared to the poor and popular robe of the other women, is more refined and rich. The painting had alredy been restored and comes with a refined and modified vintage frame.
