EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Maerten van Heemskerck's masterpiece, "Lamentation" created between 1540 and 1545. The oil painting on oak panel measures 78.5x67.5 cm and is housed in the Museum of Fine Arts (Szepmuveszeti) in Budapest, Hungary. The image captures a moment of profound sorrow and mourning as depicted in the Northern Renaissance style. In the center, we see Mary Magdalene kneeling beside Jesus Christ's lifeless body, her face etched with grief and her hands clasped together in prayerful lamentation. Surrounding them are other mourners dressed in shades of grey, their faces filled with anguish. Notably, this particular print was taken before restoration work was undertaken on the artwork in 2006. During restoration, five additional heads were revealed at the upper corners of the composition that had been previously overpainted with sky. The painting beautifully portrays themes such as grief, death, and devotion through its meticulous attention to detail. The crown of thorns rests upon Jesus' head while wounds from his crucifixion are visible on his body—a poignant reminder of his sacrifice for humanity. Van Heemskerck skillfully uses light and shadow to create depth within the scene while delicate glass vases containing ointment add a touch of fragility amidst this somber tableau. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistry behind "Lamentation"
