About this painting
Painted in the Certosa years. The Gallery's biography has Bergognone called to the charterhouse of Pavia in 1488 and kept there until 1494; this panel is dated about 1490. Pavia's 1998 exhibition called him a painter for the Certosa. The Gallery's phrase for his later manner, calm narratives with a delicate melancholy, would sit oddly on the loudest morning in the calendar.
But that morning has no text. The Gospels report a stone rolled away, an empty tomb; London's National Gallery observes that no evangelist describes Christ standing upon it. Bergognone painted a thing no one saw.
