The Entombment of Christ | Caravaggio | 1604

Christ’s body is carried forward above a stone slab whose projecting corner seems to enter the viewer’s space. The bearers bend under its weight, while the mourners behind them form a rising sequence of bowed heads, covered eyes and outstretched hands. Caravaggio’s concentrated light exposes flesh, white linen and the folds of a red cloak against an almost unbroken darkness. The force of the painting lies in this union of bodily labour and grief: the preparation for burial made immediate through touch and weight.
