Title: Lamentation of Christ
Description: Lamentation of Christ is an oil-on-panel painting attributed to German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, executed around 1498 and currently housed in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum of Nuremberg, Germany. The work was executed for the family chapel of Karl Holzschuher in the church of Sankt Johannis in Nuremberg. Dürer's monogram can be seen in the corner of Jesus' white shroud, but it is commonly considered to be apocriphal.
