The group is made in the style of Giovanni Antonio Amadeo (1447-1522) and representing the dead Christ tended by three angels. The surface of the group is much weathered and it may have occupied a lunette over an external doorway, a location for which analogies can be found in Lombard ecclesiastical buildings. The group belongs to a type of Lombard Pieta known from examples in the Museo Civico and in a former private collection, at Millan. Its style is related to that of one of the four windows on the facade of the Certosa, Pavia, which was carved about 1495-6 by an assistant of Amadeo, perhaps Giovanni Stefano de Sesto or Antonio Romano.","physicalDescription":"Marble group representing dead Christ tended by three angels. The dead Christ, seen half-length, wearing a loin-cloth, is supported upright by two kneeling angels; another stands behind to the right. The angel on the left, with his right foot on the edge of the sarcophagus, lifts the arm of Christ with his right hand. The head of Christ is bent over his right shoulder, and his loin-cloth is visible above the edge of the tomb.
