This drawing, "Entombment of Christ," by the Italian artist Ventura Salimbeni, depicts the moment when Jesus' body is lowered into the tomb. The artist's style, characterized by dramatic figures and a sense of emotional intensity, was typical of late Mannerism. The drawing, created with a brush and brown wash, captures the sorrow and grief of the event. Salimbeni's work was highly influential and his drawings are prized for their masterful draftsmanship. The Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main houses this impressive example of his work.
