Colma Lamenting the Death of Salgar and her Brother

Bartolomeo Pinelli, 1809

This Lamentation reflects the tempered classicist style of its pendant with the discovery of the corpses of the two duellists. Dressed in a fantasy Roman-medieval costume, the grieving Colma stands out in a dramatic pose against the dark vegetation. The fairly two-dimensional composition is reminiscent of sculpted friezes and vase paintings from antiquity.
