Graflegging van Christus c. 1532

"Graflegging van Christus" (c. 1532) by the anonymous Master of the Dice is a detailed engraving depicting the entombment of Christ. The scene is set against a backdrop of a mountainous landscape and a city in the distance, with three figures and a tomb in the foreground. The figure of Christ is centrally positioned, his body draped across a sarcophagus, while two angels support his head and a figure in a cloak stands on the right. This work is characteristic of Northern Renaissance engravings, featuring meticulous detail and realistic depiction of the human form. The engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, highlights the power and popularity of religious themes during the period.
