The Entombment Of Christ

$7,900

Description:

“The Entombment of Christ” (1603–1604) by Caravaggio is one of his most powerful and emotionally charged religious paintings. Created for the Chiesa Nuova in Rome, it captures the moment Christ’s lifeless body is being lowered into the tomb after the crucifixion. The composition is grounded in physicality—muscular arms straining under the weight, the cold slab of stone, and the stark realism of Christ’s body—bringing sacred narrative into raw human terms.

Caravaggio uses dramatic chiaroscuro to spotlight the figures against a dark void, heightening the grief and solemnity of the scene. The expressions of Mary, Mary Magdalene, and John evoke deep mourning without sentimentality. The painting not only reflects the Baroque emphasis on emotion and movement but also Caravaggio’s unique ability to blend spiritual reverence with unflinching realism, making the divine intensely personal and immediate.

Artist:

Caravaggio (1571–1610), born Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, was a revolutionary Italian painter who transformed the art world with his intense realism and dramatic use of light and shadow—known as chiaroscuro or tenebrism. Working during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods, Caravaggio broke from idealized representations and instead portrayed biblical and mythological subjects with raw emotion, flawed humanity, and gritty realism.

His influence was immense: Caravaggio inspired a generation of artists across Europe—often called the Caravaggisti—who adopted his theatrical lighting and lifelike figures. Despite his artistic genius, Caravaggio led a turbulent life marked by violence and exile. Yet his legacy endures, with works like The Calling of Saint Matthew, The Supper at Emmaus, and The Sacrifice of Isaac standing as powerful examples of how art can capture both the divine and the deeply human.
