From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Three Maries at the Tomb is a 1475 paint by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows three women in long robes and head coverings, standing in front of an open tomb. They each hold a small object, possibly a jar or a candle. The scene is rendered in muted colors, with shades of green, rose, and yellow. The women's faces are somber, and their postures convey a sense of reverence. The tomb is decorated with intricate patterns, adding to the overall sense of solemnity. The artist's use of metalcut and hand-coloring creates a unique texture and depth in the painting.
