"Christ carried to the tomb" is a 1643 etching by Rembrandt van Rijn, depicting the moment when Jesus’ body is carried to his tomb. The etching is known for its use of light and shadow, which creates a sense of drama and solemnity. The figures are rendered with great detail, giving the scene a sense of realism. Rembrandt's use of crosshatching and other techniques creates a sense of depth and texture, making the scene feel almost tangible. This etching is now held at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
