Kristi gravlæggelse 1748 - 1816

"Kristi gravlæggelse" (The Entombment of Christ), created between 1748 and 1816 by Danish artist W.A. Müller, depicts the solemn moment when Christ's body is laid to rest in the tomb. The scene, set in a cave illuminated by torches, shows a group of figures, including the Virgin Mary and Joseph of Arimathea, lowering Christ's body onto the stone slab. The work exemplifies Müller's characteristic use of a muted color palette and detailed figures, contributing to the somber and reverent atmosphere. This powerful portrayal of the event holds significant importance in Christian tradition and continues to resonate with viewers today.
