From the collection of Timișoara National Museum of Art
Iosif din Arimatea sprijinind trupul lui Iisus is a 1540 unspecified by Andrea del Sarto, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting Theme, held at Timișoara National Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man holding another man’s limp body. The man holding him wears a white cloth draped over his shoulder, with a dark red hat and a pale blue wrap around his legs. The background is mostly dark, focusing all the attention on the two figures. The man carrying the body looks tired, his face serious. His grip is firm but gentle, like he’s holding something heavy but precious. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow to create drama.
Andrea del Sarto was an Italian painter from Florence, whose career flourished during the High Renaissance and early Mannerism.
