Passion · From the Cross to the Entombment
The dead Christ confronts painting with the silence of the body, with the mourning and with the hope which separate the Crucifixion from the Resurrection.
After death on the Cross, the body of Christ becomes the center of several visual traditions: lamentation, Pietà, Christ of pain, burial or isolated figure presented to the faithful. The artists emphasize the wounds, the weight of the body, the paleness and gestures of those around him. Holbein imposes a striking horizontal realism; Carracci and Philippe de Champaigne favor silence and meditation; Lavinia Fontana associates the body with the instruments of the Passion; Manet renews the theme by confronting the modern material of painting head-on with the sacred story. The "Dead Christ" selection notably compares Dead Christ and the Angels - Édouard Manet and Dead Christ - Annibale Carracci. His reading favors details.
To paint the dead Christ is to hold together the physical reality of death, the pain of witnesses and the expectation of a story that is not finished.
