Lament over the Dead Christ (Veronese)

Lament over the Dead Christ is a c.1548 oil on canvas painting by Paolo Veronese, now in the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona[1].

It was commissioned by Hieronymite monks for the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and completed in 1548, the same year as Bevilacqua-Lazise Altarpiece (now in the same museum). A 19th century copy of Lament now hangs in the church of San Massimo all'Adige in Venice[2].
