Peculiar Lamentation
June 29, 2017 at 2:14 pm
Lamentations of Christ are depictions of the body of Christ removed from the cross and surrounded by mourners. A common tableau features Mary in the middle behind Christ's body with John to Mary's right and Mary Magdalene to Mary's left. Does anyone notice anything peculiar about the Lamentation reproduced here?

Magdalena has a very weird physiognomy, and what on earth is John doing down there?

The woman on the left has a broken neck.

The two Marys appear to have exactly the same face.

Women are interchangeable parts.

Given the number of spikes in his head there should be holes in the Turin shroud.

I think my description might have confused you. When I said to Mary's right, I meant on Mary's right hand side, not to the right of Mary from the observer's  viewpoint. So you're actually wondering what Magdalena is doing "down there."

There is an upside down trilobite close to that one guy's right hand.

OK, we give up, what's peculiar about the Lamentation?
Or is it that big Indiana Jones stone ball about to wipe them all out?
