Dominant colour
The Mysteries of the Passion: The Entombment is a 1631 by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a group of people around a body lying in a boat. The scene looks like a burial at night, with dim light and shadowy figures. One person is holding a lantern, casting a small glow over the water and shore. The artist used deep contrasts between light and dark to create drama. This was a common trick in Baroque art to pull you into the scene. Next, look up Baroque to see how this style made emotions feel bigger.
Jacques Callot was a baroque printmaker and draftsman from the Duchy of Lorraine.
