Graflegging van Christus Possibly 1847 - 1849

"Graflegging van Christus" (The Entombment of Christ) is a lithograph by Johannes de Mare, a Dutch artist active in the mid-19th century. The artwork depicts the biblical scene of Christ's burial after his crucifixion. The scene is depicted with great detail, including the emotional expressions of the figures as they carry Christ's body to the tomb. The lithograph’s composition, with a group of figures in the foreground, emphasizes the solemnity and tragedy of the event. The use of chiaroscuro lighting adds to the dramatic feel of the piece. This lithograph is an excellent example of de Mare's skill as a draughtsman, and his ability to convey a profound religious message through his art.
