About the sculpture
The Dead Christ supported on the lap of the Virgin, his head supported by St John the Evangelist and his feet by St Mary Magdalen. The group is closely related to another formerly in the Staatliche Museen, Berlin, and both seem to derive from a composition painted by Perugino (after 1450-1523) for the church of San Giusto in about 1494-95 (now in the Uffizi, Florence).
The group was formerly ascribed to Giovanni dell Robbia's workshop.
