# Lamentation [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [FREDIANI, Vincenzo di Antonio]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Oil and tempera on panel, 45 x 101 cm ## Commentary The lunette shape of this painting suggests that it was originally intended as the upper section of an as-yet unknown altarpiece. The prominence accorded to the Magdalene, shown holding up the dead Christ, is unusual. ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
