The Entombment is a 1696 unspecified by Unknown, a Rococo painting work, depicting Lamentation of Christ, held at Rijksmuseum.
You see a group of people lowering Jesus into a tomb. Mary holds his crown of thorns, Mary Magdalene kisses his hand, and an older woman wrings her hands in grief. This painting is a copy of an earlier work, but the artist is unknown. The way light and shadow play across the figures makes the scene feel heavy with sorrow. The original, from 1705, hangs in Munich’s Alte Pinakothek. To see how light shapes emotion, look up *chiaroscuro*.
