One of the most common themes of late-medieval religious art is the Piet, where the dead Christ is supported by his grieving mother. The curved back form of Christ's body is very original, and the dignity of the other figures is very different from Italian or Netherlandish depictions. The painting was thought to be by a Catalan or Portuguese master before it was attributed to Quarton.
