About the sculpture
This is a marble group made in Italy in the late 15th century. 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.
