EDITORS COMMENTS
The Entombment," an engraving and etching by the renowned Flemish artist Aegidius Sadeler II (1570-1629), portrays a poignant scene from the New Testament. This masterpiece, created during the Baroque era, depicts the moment when Christ's body is being carried to the tomb for burial after His crucifixion at Calvary. The composition is based on Federico Barocci's painting of the same name, which was widely popular during the 17th century. The image is filled with emotion as Mary Magdalene and other grieving women follow the procession, their faces etched with sorrow and despair. The dead body of Jesus, lying on a bier, is surrounded by mourning men, including Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, who are preparing Him for burial. The black and white, monochrome image adds to the solemnity and intensity of the scene, emphasizing the contrast between life and death. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow creates depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the emotional narrative. This engraving and etching, produced in Flanders during the late 16th or early 17th century, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the time. It is a powerful reminder of the significance of the Entombment in the Christian faith and the profound impact of the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is one of the many prestigious institutions that have added this masterpiece to their collections, making it accessible for art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate the beauty and depth of Sadeler's work.
