The title of the painting, "The Lamentation," refers to the mourning and sorrow of the Virgin Mary and others surrounding the body of Christ after the Crucifixion. The standing monastic saints below are not the primary focus but rather part of the overall scene. The background landscape is also not the main focus, although it does provide context for the setting.
