The Great Painting series: The Lamentation of Christ by Giotto
_________________________
Lamentation (The Mourning of Christ) is a fresco painted c.1305 by the Italian artist Giotto as part of his cycle of the Life of Christ on the interior walls of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy.
The Scrovegni Chapel was built as a private chapel next to the Eremitani Monastery by the wealthy Scrovegni family and consecrated in 1305. Between 1304 and 1306, Giotto decorated the interior walls of the chapel with a series of frescoes depicting scenes from the Life of Jesus. The upper sections of the walls also include stories of Joachim and Anna, parents of the Virgin Mary. The works are considered a masterpiece. Both the monastery and the chapel now form part of the Musei Civici di Padova.
