# The Lamentation [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [BEER, Jan de]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Pen and black ink, 153 x 229 mm ## Commentary The Lamentation c. 1505 Pen and black ink, 153 x 229 mm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Jan de Beer was a prominent member of the Antwerp Mannerists who developed a new style in Antwerp in the early decades of the sixteenth century. In their drawings a lively line and vigorous hatching tend to fill any space not already filled, in marked contrast with the concentrated and self-effacing way most fifteenth-century Netherlandish artists drew. The Antwerp Mannerists' style may reflect the influence of Dürer's prints. The Lamentation is the work of an artist from Jan de Beer's circle. ## Related artworks - [Annunciation]() - [Annunciation]() - [Aristotle and Phyllis]() - [Birth of the Virgin]() - [Triptych]() - [Triptych]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
