Christ with Joseph of Arimathea, c. 1525. Creator: Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo (Italian, c
Christ with Joseph of Arimathea, c. 1525. After the Crucifixion, Joseph of Arimathea obtained permission to bury Christs body in Josephs own tomb. Aside from an amorphous, cloudy sky, Savoldo eliminated the background entirely and reduced the narrative to two monumental figures, brought to the front of the picture plane. These qualities surely had a great impact on Caravaggio, who initially trained in Northern Italy, where Savoldo spent his career. This work originally hung over a large altarpiece, which explains the unusual perspective, the panels horizontal shape, and the figures position above the viewer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Giovanni Girolamo Savoldo's masterpiece, "Christ with Joseph of Arimathea" created around 1525. The painting depicts a significant moment after the Crucifixion when Joseph of Arimathea was granted permission to bury Christ in his own tomb. Savoldo's artistic genius is evident in his deliberate elimination of the background, focusing solely on two monumental figures that dominate the foreground. The absence of any distractions allows viewers to fully immerse themselves in the emotional intensity and spiritual depth conveyed by these central characters. Caravaggio, who trained in Northern Italy where Savoldo worked, must have been deeply influenced by this technique and composition. Originally intended as an altarpiece, this artwork possesses unique qualities such as its horizontal shape and unusual perspective. Placed above the viewer, it creates an awe-inspiring effect that enhances its religious significance. Painted with oil on wood, Savoldo masterfully captures every detail and texture while infusing the scene with a sense of ethereal beauty. The cloudy sky adds a touch of mystery and symbolism to this profound encounter between Christ and Joseph. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both Savoldo's exceptional talent and his lasting impact on Italian Renaissance art. This print from Heritage Art/Heritage Images ensures that admirers can appreciate every nuance and brushstroke for generations to come.
