Christ in mercy
PAINTED, ca 1514 - ca 1514
On a sarcophagus decorated with spirals of leaves, within a roundel with a blue background, the "Christ in Pietà" stands out, with his arms crossed, his head bowed and the cross in the background. On the sides, under a scroll with a long inscription, two coats of arms: on the left, that of the Scotti family, crossed by a white band on a blue background; on the right, that of the Lampugnani, black eagle on a yellow background and a black and white checkered band on a red background

HISTORICAL CRITICAL NEWS
Work by a mediocre local artist from the early 16th century. Visible until 1627, it was then washed away and rediscovered only between 1931-1932, when a large part of it was repainted (perhaps only the figure of the "Christ in Pietà" is original).
