Entombment of Christ c. 1906

Fritz Boehle’s “Entombment of Christ” (c. 1906) depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ being laid to rest after his crucifixion. The composition features a detailed drawing of Jesus' body within a stone tomb, surrounded by mourners. The scene is framed by the distant landscape, including the two crosses, emphasizing the setting of the event. This drawing is a powerful testament to the artist's skill in capturing the solemn moment, emphasizing the sorrow of the event and the quiet dignity of Jesus' repose.
