The Entombment is a 1654 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a dark, crowded scene of men lowering Christ’s body into a tomb. Rembrandt scratched this image onto metal with a sharp needle, letting ink settle in the grooves. The lines are rough and quick, like he drew it in one sitting. It feels more like a sketch than a finished work—raw and immediate. If you like how this feels, look up *etching*.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
