From the Middle Ages to the 19th century · Body, mourning and hope
The Entombment depicts the transport and deposit of Christ after the Crucifixion, a subject where each painter renews gestures, light and intensity of mourning.
The theme of the Entombment develops in Christian art from the Gospel stories dedicated to Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus and those close to Christ. Artists often bring several moments together: descent from the cross, lamentation, anointing and deposit in the sepulcher. The composition is organized around the weight of the body, the hands that support it and the reactions of the Virgin, Madeleine or the holy women. Giotto gives the group strength very early on human and collective. During the Renaissance, perspective, anatomy and monumental balance transformed the scene. Michelangelo leaves an unfinished work where the figures seem to seek their place around Christ. Caravaggio, in 1603 -1604, imposes a powerful diagonal leading the body towards the anointing stone and the viewer's gaze. Rubens amplifies movement, color and emotion; Rembrandt instead concentrates the episode in shadow and light. The diversity of versions show how the same story becomes a study of the body, sorrow and hope. The "Tombing" selection notably compares The Entombment - Caravaggio and The Entombment - Michelangelo. Its preferred reading the atmosphere.
In the Entombment, the sacred story becomes a test of painting: restoring the weight of the body, the solidarity of gestures and the light that remains in mourning.
