From the collection of Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister
The relatives of Christ at the tomb is a 1627 oil by Jacob Jordaens, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a tomb. They're all dressed in robes, with one woman in the center looking up, her arms outstretched. The others are looking down at the tomb, their faces filled with sadness. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and gold dominating the scene. The woman's robes are a bit brighter, with a subtle pattern on them. The overall mood is somber, with the group's emotions palpable. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
Jacques (Jacob) Jordaens (19 May 1593 – 18 October 1678) was a Flemish painter, draughtsman and a designer of tapestries and prints.
