EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the profound biblical scene of "The entombment of Christ" with the crosses on Calvary visible in the left background. Created by Giulio Bonasone in 1563, this artwork belongs to the Renaissance period and showcases his exceptional talent in etching and engraving. The image depicts a moment of deep sorrow and grief as Jesus' lifeless body is being laid to rest by Joseph of Arimathea, while Mary, the Virgin Mother, mourns beside him. The raw emotion portrayed here evokes a sense of empathy from viewers, reflecting on the immense sacrifice made for humanity's salvation. Bonasone's attention to detail is evident in every line etched onto this print. The intricate engravings beautifully capture each figure's expression and posture, emphasizing their anguish and sadness. The composition draws our eyes towards Jesus' body at the center, surrounded by mourning figures that include Saint Mary. As we contemplate this poignant scene during Easter or any time throughout the year, it serves as a reminder of Christ's ultimate sacrifice for mankind's sins. This artwork not only reflects religious devotion but also highlights Bonasone's mastery as an Italian artist during the 16th century. "The entombment of Christ" can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it stands as a testament to both artistic heritage and spiritual significance.
