Mormântul Domnului is a 1850 unspecified by Unknown, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting Composition, held at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.
This small painting shows a simple scene inside a wooden frame. A robed figure lies in a coffin, arms crossed. Two other figures in brown robes stand on either side, looking down. Above the coffin hang two candleholders with lit candles and a sun-like symbol with a cross in the center. The colors are flat and bright—mostly red, white, and black—with no shading to make things look real. The figures are stiff, and the background is plain. The text at the bottom is in an old script, but it’s hard to read. If you like this kind of simple, symbolic art, look up composition in religious paintings next.
