EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Dieric Bouts' masterpiece, "The Entombment" created in the 1450s. The painting depicts a poignant biblical scene from the New Testament, where Christ's lifeless body is being gently lowered into the tomb. Surrounding him are four women who were present at his crucifixion: the Virgin Mary, holding onto Christ's wrist with utmost tenderness; Mary Magdalene, overcome with grief and shedding tears of sorrow; Mary Cleopas, standing beside her in deep mourning; and another Mary whose identity remains unknown. The composition exudes an atmosphere of desperation and tragedy as these devoted women come together to bury their beloved friend outside the tomb. Their cooperation and caring gestures reflect spirituality and togetherness during this time of immense loss. Each figure portrays a unique expression of bereavement, emphasizing their profound connection to Jesus. Bouts' meticulous attention to detail is evident in this tempera artwork, capturing every color and texture with careful precision. The entombment scene unfolds against a backdrop that transports us back to the medieval era when religious art flourished. As we gaze upon this print from Heritage Images sourced from the National Gallery in London, we cannot help but be moved by its powerful depiction of devotion and love amidst great sorrow. It serves as a timeless reminder of faith's ability to provide solace even in times of despair.
