The Virgin, Saint John the Baptist, and Mary Magdalen weeping over Christ's dead body

Formerly attributed to Jusepe de Ribera (called Lo Spagnoletto) Spanish

Not on view

The attribution of this etching is problematic. Traditionally attributed to Ribera by Bartsch, the print has more recently been excerpted from the artist's oeuvre. The composition of the print is loosely related to Ribera's painting of the same subject in the National Gallery, London (inv. no. NG235). Given the technical contrast with other prints by Ribera it is possible that this etching was executed by an unknown artist in his entourage after the painting, or preparatory drawings for it.
