Cristo nel sepolcro

Artist: Matteo di Giovanni
Current location: Oratorio di S.Bernardino - Museo Diocesano
DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION
The work depicts the figure of the Vir Dolorum (Man of Sorrows), with Christ's body partially emerging from the sarcophagus, showing the signs of the Passion.
The artist blends the Sienese linear tradition with the spatiality and plastic volumes of Renaissance origin, influenced by Vecchietta and Piero della Francesca.
The painting features Matteo di Giovanni's typical, refined color palette, with clear graphic details on the features and drapery.
This type of small-format panel was often part of the predella of a larger polyptych.
