The Lamentation
Ludovico Mazzolino

Renaissance Painter · Active 1516 – 1516
Across 1 works held in Paintale's collection, Ludovico Mazzolino returns again and again to tragedy & death — a range that gives a sense of what the Renaissance period asked of its painters.
Where to see the work: The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The paintings by Ludovico Mazzolino gathered on Paintale span tragedy & death, a set of concerns typical of an artist working through the Renaissance period. Taken as a group, they show a consistent visual language rather than a series of unrelated commissions.
Today, paintings by Ludovico Mazzolino are held in major institutions including The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Each work on Paintale unpacks the subject, the symbolism, the technique, and the long afterlife of the painting — why it was commissioned, what its earliest viewers were expected to see, and why it still rewards close looking today.
