The "Entombment of Christ" is a drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist Timoteo Viti, completed sometime between 1469 and 1523. This artwork depicts the sorrowful moment when Christ's body is prepared for burial following his crucifixion. The scene is filled with figures, each contributing to the solemn act of laying Christ in the tomb. The dramatic composition and the use of delicate lines emphasize the emotional weight of this crucial moment in Christian faith. The drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, is a testament to Viti's masterful understanding of human anatomy and emotion, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the profound sorrow and grief of this pivotal event.
