Christus Dolens or Christ as the Man of Sorrows is a tempera on panel painting by Bramantino, executed c. 1490, in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid. The original Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection acquired it in 1937 from Countess Teresa Soranza-Mocenigo. A similar work by Bramantino is in the Museo della Certosa in Pavia.The painting was recorded in the Della Porta Pusterla family collection in Milan in 1590, where it remained until the first quarter of the 20th century. It was published for the first time by Müller Walde in 1898 and various studies attributed it to Bramantino or Bramante. In 1905 William Suida was the first to suggest an attribution to Bramantino. Mulazzini dated it to 1490, early in Bramantino's career.
