The Entombment (detail from the Isenheim Altarpiece) 1515

This detail from Matthias Grünewald's Isenheim Altarpiece, painted in 1515, depicts the Entombment of Christ. The scene is characterized by its intense emotional realism, with the figures of Christ and Mary Magdalene rendered with stark detail. Grünewald’s use of vibrant colors and dramatic lighting creates a powerful sense of grief and solemnity. This work is a masterpiece of Northern Renaissance art, and it continues to inspire awe in viewers centuries later.
