Procaccini shows the dead Christ surrounded by several grieving angels. Mary Magdalen is also shown, tenderly holding Christ's hand. The more triumphant emotional mood in the final painting signifies a change in theological content, lessening the sense of immediate grief and emphasising the hope for eternal salvation in Christ's sacrifice.
