The Passion of Jesus has been depicted in countless paintings both Greek and Italian. The Lamentation of Christ or Pietà was a popular theme adopted by the Cretan School. Andreas Pavias and Nikolaos Tzafouris both featured works in the traditional Greek style. Greek art began to evolve and integrate Venetian painting styles. By the Late Cretan and early Heptanese School. Greek artists began to integrate Flemish engravings into their paintings. By the 1800s Nikolaos Doxaras and Panagiotis Doxaras attempted to popularize oil painting. Panagiotis Doxaras significantly refined the Greek style but did not have the commercial success of El Greco with Renaissance Baroque style oil paintings. Nikolaos Kantounis had a very successful workshop. He was able to successfully maintain a workshop that emulated Renaissance Baroque-style oil paintings. His Lamentation of Christ resembles Andrea Mantegna's Lamentation of Christ. The work is part of the collection of the Municipal Art Gallery of Larissa in Greece. (en)
