Paolo Veronese created this superb composition for the Church of
SS Giovanni e Paolo in Venice. Master of grandiose festive scenes,
towards the end of his life Veronese turned to tragic subjects.
Just three figures are present here, plunged deep in gloom and
silence: the Virgin Mary and the Angel bend over the body of
Christ. Mary's face is full of sorrow, her white veil pulled over
her forehead in monastic style, while the angel gently lifts the
wounded hand of the Saviour. The streaming pink robes of the angel
and the gold of his hair create a contrast with the cold tones of
the dead body.
