This post Crucifixion painting shows a group of mourners gathered around the lifeless Jesus, including Mary (dark blue veil) and Mary Magdalene (red veil, long hair). The 14th century painting by Giottino portrays two patrons, a nun, a girl, Benedict (resting a hand on the nun's head), and Remigius (holding a crozier). Originally displayed in the Church of St. Remigio, the painting entered the Uffizi Gallery in 1851.

Known for his emphasis on pathos (appealing to emotions), Giotto depicts the emotions of each individual as they gaze on the deceased Christ. While there are several other individuals in this painting, including women, they all gaze at the lifeless Christ and draw the viewer to do so as well. Next to Christ are Mary Magdalene and Mary, mother of Jesus. Mary Magdalene, sitting to the left of Christ, has long flowing hair and a red veil. Much medieval art depicts her with long hair to signify the later belief that she was a prostitute. Mary, mother of Jesus, holds the dead Christ in her arms as she gazes into his face. Mary's face, tilted toward Christ, invites the viewer into this intimate interaction. Mary is wearing a blue veil adorned with gold stars, each which have eight points. As the number seven was depicted as the perfect number in the Bible, the eight-pointed star – one point more than seven – symbolized eternity.
