Design for a Wall Tomb with a Variant and Statues of the Resurrected Christ and a kneeling Donor 17th century

This 17th-century anonymous design for a wall tomb features a Renaissance-style architectural framework, a kneeling donor, and a resurrected Christ holding a cross. The tomb’s architectural elements are ornately decorated with cherubs and scrolling foliage, while the central niche is surrounded by columns and pilasters. The design, preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, illustrates a common theme of religious art, the veneration of the dead and the promise of eternal life.
