The Entombment 1617 - 1627

Giovanni Temini's etching "The Entombment" (1617-1627) depicts the sorrowful scene of Jesus' burial. The image captures the weight of grief as figures gather around the tomb, their expressions conveying sorrow and reverence. The artist's detailed rendering of the figures' postures and drapery creates a sense of realism and emotional depth, making this a poignant depiction of a central event in Christian faith. The artwork is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and stands as a testament to the enduring power of religious art.
