Cristo morto sorretto da due angeli

The story

The dead Christ is seated at the edge of his tomb, supported by two angels in red, yellow and green robes. Carpaccio painted small devotional panels like this in early 16th-century Venice for people to pray with at home, distilling the whole Passion story into a single mournful image.
