EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of the "Entombment of Christ" by Enea Vico, after Raphael's original masterpiece. The scene unfolds with Joseph of Arimathea tenderly cradling the lifeless body of Jesus in his arms, conveying a sense of grief and reverence. Two kneeling female mourners join him in their sorrow, while two standing women observe from a distance. The composition is enriched by the presence of a crown of thorns at the bottom right corner, symbolizing Christ's suffering and sacrifice. The intricate details engraved by Antonio Salamanca beautifully depict each figure's emotions, emphasizing their deep connection to this pivotal event in Christianity. Set within a cave-like burial site, the image evokes an atmosphere both solemn and sacred. The use of black and white enhances the timeless quality of this 16th-century artwork, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into its historical significance. Enea Vico's engraving pays homage to Raphael Sanzio’s original painting while adding his own artistic interpretation. This powerful portrayal invites contemplation on themes such as death, faith, and redemption that have resonated throughout centuries. Displayed at The Met museum among other heritage art pieces, this print serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with religious iconography and our collective desire for spiritual connection.
