The Dead Christ Supported by Three Figures by Giovanni Battista Naldini. Bequest of Walter C. Baker, 1971 (1972.118.261)


Lamentation over the Dead Christ at the Foot of the Cross by Ferraù Fenzoni. Harry G. Sperling Fund, 1980 (1980.20.3)
As depicted in these two powerfully expressive Italian drawings, which are mounted next each other in the upstairs galleries, the theme of the dead Christ and his sorrowful attendants holds special significance for many visitors during this anniversary period.

Location: First eastern wall of The Robert Wood Johnson, Jr. Gallery, second floor
