EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Altdorfer's masterpiece, "Entombment of Christ" painted in 1518. The oil on panel artwork measures 70.5x37.3 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The painting depicts a scene filled with anguish and sorrow as Jesus Christ is being laid to rest after his crucifixion. The composition skillfully employs foreshortening techniques, creating a sense of depth and realism that draws the viewer into the emotional intensity of the moment. Altdorfer's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the grief-stricken expressions on the faces of those surrounding Christ's lifeless body. The use of light and shadow adds an ethereal quality to the scene, emphasizing both the solemnity and hope inherent in this biblical event. The burial takes place inside a cave-like structure, further enhancing the somber atmosphere while also symbolizing rebirth or resurrection from darkness into light. This remarkable print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Altdorfer's mastery firsthand, offering a glimpse into one of history's most significant religious narratives through his unique artistic lens.
