The Dead Christ Held by Two Angels is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Marco Palmezzano finished in 1510. It is housed in the Musée du Louvre of Paris France.The centre of the scene is occupied by the dead figure of Christ portrayed with great attention to anatomical details but also with evident religious piety; the brightness of his body is further enhanced by the dark stone resembling a black cave depicted in the background.
