Christ as the Suffering Redeemer (Mantegna)

The Christ as the Suffering Redeemer is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Andrea Mantegna, dated to c. 1488–1500 and housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark.

[citation needed] The work is generally assigned to Mantegna's stay in Rome, due to stylistic similarities with the Madonna of the Quarry, although other art historians considered it from the 1490s.

Christ, portrayed with open hands to show all the wounds of the crucifixion, is raised on finely sculpted ancient sarcophagus.

[citation needed] His body is wrapped in a metallic white drape, and his supported by two kneeling angels (a seraphim and a cherubim).

Finally, on the left are fields with shepherds and cattle and a walled city, Jerusalem, at the feet of a rocky spur.
