EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of "The Entombment of Christ" painted by Titian in 1559. The oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 136 x 174.5 cm, is housed in the prestigious Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. In this poignant scene, we witness Joseph of Arimathea, the donor of his own prepared tomb to Jesus, alongside Nicodemus and the Virgin Mary delicately lowering the lifeless body of Christ into the sepulcher. Mary Magdalen and John the Evangelist stand nearby as witnesses to this sorrowful event. Commissioned by Philip II of Spain as a devotional painting, it was originally installed at Escorial in 1559 before finding its permanent home at Prado Museum in 1837. Titian's masterful brushwork brings forth an emotional depth that resonates with viewers even today. The image evokes a sense of mourning and grief as mother and son are separated through crucifixion. It serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice and redemption within Christian theology. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Titian's skilled hand. It invites us to delve into history while contemplating themes such as faith, loss, and devotion depicted within this iconic artwork.
