Entombment 1440

"Entombment", painted by Fra Angelico in 1440, depicts the moment of Christ's entombment. The composition is filled with emotion, as the Virgin Mary kneels in grief, while a kneeling male figure, likely John the Evangelist, looks on in sorrow. Christ is depicted in his resurrected form, emerging from the tomb while an angel attends to him. The work showcases Angelico's signature style, characterized by delicate lines, soft colors, and a serene atmosphere, creating a poignant image of faith and hope. The painting is currently housed in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany.
