Product Details:

The Entombment of Christ is one of the greatest religious masterpieces by Caravaggio. Painted for the Chiesa Nuova in Rome, it depicts the moment after Christ's crucifixion as his followers lower his body onto the stone slab before burial. The composition is dominated by the lifeless body of Jesus, supported by Saint John and Nicodemus, while the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of Clopas mourn behind them. Nicodemus, positioned closest to the viewer, appears to bear the physical weight of Christ and serves as a bridge between the sacred scene and the observer. Today, the painting is housed in the Vatican Pinacoteca and is widely regarded as one of the defining works of Baroque art, admired for its emotional intensity, realism, and masterful composition.
