The Entombment 

Andrea Briosco, known as Riccio, was an Italian sculptor active in the early 16th century. He is known for his bronze plaquettes, such as this one depicting "The Entombment" of Christ. This small relief sculpture, only about 3 inches in height, shows a highly detailed and moving scene of Christ being laid to rest. The figures are realistically rendered with expressive gestures, reflecting the emotional weight of the event. The use of low relief allows for a sense of depth and volume, despite the limited size. This work is characteristic of Riccio's style, which is often characterized by its delicate detail and expressive figural compositions.
