PORDENONE
(b. ca. 1484, Pordenone, d. 1539, Ferrara)

Lamentation

1522
Fresco
Cathedral, Cremona

In the lower zone of the wall next to the portal to the church Pordenone painted the Lamentation in 1522. Here the figures quietly form a niche around Mary, who has fallen to her knees, mourning her dead son stretched out before her. Extremely foreshortened, the corps juts out at us, pushing toward us.
