Title: Lamentation of Christ
Description: Lamentation of Christ (also known as Glimm Lamentation) is an oil-on-panel painting by German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, executed around 1500 and currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek of Munich, Germany. The work was commissioned by goldsmith Jakob Glimm as a memorial of his first wife, Margaret Holzmann, who a died in 1500. The removal of later re-painting in 1924 showed the original figures of the donors (Glimm and his three sons) and of the dead woman, depicted in far smaller proportions than the religious characters.
