1365 (ca.), Giottino (Giotto di Stefano), Lamentation over the Dead Christ -- Uffizi Gallery (Florence)
From the museum label: Originally standing atop the rood screen in the church of San Remigio, this masterpiece of 14th century Florentine painting is remarkable both for its dramatic power and for its realistic portrayal of the two patrons, a nun and a girl in fashionable attire, with St. Benedict resting his hand on the nun's head and St. Remigius resting his on the young girl's head. Acquired by the Gallerie Fiorentine in 1842, the picture entered the Uffizi in 1851.
