Entombment 1921 - 1922

"Entombment" is a powerful etching by German Expressionist artist Lovis Corinth, created between 1921 and 1922. The artwork depicts the somber scene of a nude figure being lowered into a tomb. Corinth's signature expressive style is evident in the use of bold lines and dramatic shadows that convey a sense of tragedy and grief. This piece exemplifies Corinth's mature artistic phase, marked by a focus on powerful themes of life, death, and mortality.
