"Graflegging van Christus" (Entombment of Christ) is a 15th-century engraving by Andrea Mantegna, a prominent Italian Renaissance artist. This detailed print, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Mantegna's masterful use of perspective and chiaroscuro, creating a dramatic and emotionally charged scene. The engraving depicts the moment of Christ's burial, with figures gathered around the tomb in a poignant tableau. The use of precise lines and intricate details give the work a sense of realism and depth, characteristic of Mantegna's artistic style.
