This polychromed Lamentation is an interesting example of Spanish workshop production at the end of the 15th century. The hands of several artists can be detected; different sculptors carved the frame and the figures, and different paints were used for the figures and the landscape.The debt to Northern painting is evident in such figures as Saint John and the Magdalen wiping her eye, both of which are derived from Rogier van der Weyden. The gilded framework and brocaded sidewalls are , however, characteristically Spanish. * Note - I accidentally cropped those out. (Source - The Metropolitan Museum of Art Guide 1983).
