Kristi Gravlæggelse 1880

"Kristi Gravlæggelse" (Christ's entombment) is an etching by Danish artist Carl Bloch, created in 1880. The detailed drawing portrays the moment when Christ's body is laid in the tomb, surrounded by mournful figures. Bloch's work is renowned for its realistic depiction of biblical scenes and its attention to historical detail. This piece, now in the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is a powerful testament to Bloch's skill in depicting religious narratives through a combination of meticulous drawing and emotional resonance.
