EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from Matthias Grunewald's renowned Isenheim Altarpiece, specifically "The Entombment". Created between 1512 and 1515, this oil on panel masterpiece measures an impressive 67x341 cm and is currently housed in the Musee d'Unterlinden in Colmar, France. In this particular section of the altarpiece, we witness a scene filled with mourning and sorrow. Mary Magdalene stands at the forefront, her face etched with grief as she gazes upon the lifeless body of Jesus Christ. The shroud enveloping his form serves as a poignant reminder of his sacrifice for humanity. Above him rests the crown of thorns that once adorned his head during his crucifixion. Surrounding Mary Magdalene are two other figures known as the Three Maries - symbols of devotion and loyalty to Christ. Together they share in their collective anguish over their beloved teacher's untimely demise. Grunewald's masterful brushwork captures every nuance of emotion within this predella panel. The viewer cannot help but be moved by the raw intensity conveyed through each stroke; it is a testament to both the artist's skill and deep understanding of human suffering. "The Entombment" is not merely a painting; it is an immersive experience that transports us back to one of history's most pivotal moments. Through its depiction of sorrow, loss, and ultimately hope, this Northern Renaissance masterpiece
