EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Entombment of Christ" by Fra Angelico, a renowned artist from the 15th century. The painting, attributed to Fra Angelico, is an exquisite example of early Renaissance art and can be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington. In this poignant scene, we witness the burial of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. The composition is filled with raw emotion as grief-stricken figures surround the lifeless body of Christ. Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary are depicted mourning alongside other men and women who express their sorrow through gestures and expressions. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings depth and texture to the image. The vibrant colors add a sense of vibrancy despite the somber subject matter. Symbolism abounds throughout the piece - from the crown of thorns resting on Jesus' head to tools such as hammers and pliers that allude to his crucifixion. Fra Angelico's mastery shines through in this old master painting executed using tempera on poplar panel. His ability to capture human emotions with such precision makes this artwork truly timeless. As we gaze upon this powerful depiction, we are transported back in time, connecting with centuries-old religious beliefs while appreciating Fra Angelico's artistic brilliance. This print serves as a beautiful reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to reflect on themes like faith, sacrifice, and redemption that continue to resonate today.
