Red chalk over black chalk

Tender gestures and interlocking figures cradle Christ's lifeless form in soft charcoal lines, each body a study in grief and devotion. Michelangelo transforms collective mourning into monumental humanity, establishing the emotional intensity that defines Renaissance religious art.
