"The Entombment" is a miniature painting from a manuscript by the Limbourg brothers, three artists who worked together in the early 15th century. The scene depicts the burial of Jesus Christ, with mourners surrounding the tomb. The painting features a detailed background with a distant cityscape and a crucifixion scene visible in the distance, illustrating the context of Christ's death. The brothers are known for their use of naturalism and vivid details, as seen in the realistic portrayal of the figures and the intricate landscape. This miniature is a poignant depiction of a pivotal moment in Christian history, executed with the artistic mastery of the Limbourg brothers.
