The dead Christ lies on a marble slab, seen from his feet, his body steeply foreshortened beneath a sheet. The Virgin, Saint John and Mary Magdalene weep at the left edge. Mantegna painted it probably in the early 1480s, in a restrained palette of browns and greys that makes the wounds in the hands and feet all the more shocking.
Look closer
Mantegna made the feet smaller than true perspective demands. At their correct size they would hide much of the body.
