## Commentary

Lamentation of Christ c. 1615 Oil on canvas, 74 x 90 cm Fondazione di Studi di Storia dell&#39;Arte Roberto Longhi, Florence The Lamentation seems to have been Borgianni&#39;s favourite subject in his final years. There are at least four painted versions and a signed etching dated 1615. In these compositions there are either two or three mourners \(as in the present version\). Among the iconographic precedents of the painting, the link with &lt;a onclick=&#34;return OpenOther\(&#39;/html/m/mantegna/09/1deadchr.html&#39;\)&#34; href=&#34;/html/m/mantegna/09/1deadchr.html&#34;&gt;Mantegna&#39;s Lamentation over the Dead Christ&lt;/a&gt; is evident.
