The Passion: The Burial of Christ is a 1521 by Lucas van Leyden, a Renaissance work, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a burial scene with people gathered around Christ. This scene is interesting because it's a common theme in art, but the details are unique. The people in the scene are dressed in clothes from the Netherlands in the 16th century, which gives us a glimpse into what life was like back then. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
Lucas van Leyden (1494 – 8 August 1533), was a Dutch painter and printmaker in engraving and woodcut. Lucas van Leyden was among the first Dutch exponents of genre painting and was a very accomplished engraver.
