The Entombment of Christ

"The Entombment of Christ," created by Jacopo Bassano the Elder around 1572, depicts the moment of Christ's burial, emphasizing emotional intensity through dramatic lighting and expressive figures. This work reflects the Mannerist style prevalent during the late Renaissance, showcasing Bassano's innovative use of color and composition, which significantly influenced subsequent generations of artists in the Venetian tradition.

"The Entombment of Christ" by Jacopo Bassano the Elder features a dramatic composition characterized by a dynamic arrangement of figures surrounding the central figure of Christ, who is depicted in a lifeless state. The use of chiaroscuro enhances the emotional intensity of the scene, while the rich color palette and detailed rendering of textiles and flesh contribute to the overall realism and pathos of the moment.
