EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound artwork of Wenceslaus Hollar, titled "Entombment, 1625-77". Created in the 17th century, this etching depicts a scene of immense grief and mourning. The bodies of Jesus Christ and his followers are carefully laid to rest in a cave-like burial site. Hollar's attention to detail is evident as he captures the raw emotions displayed by each mourner present. A diverse group of individuals, both male and female, gather around the entombed figures. Their faces reflect deep sorrow and anguish as they pay their respects to their beloved leader. The artist skillfully portrays Mary Magdalen, Jesus' mother Virgin Mary, and other mourners who express their grief through gestures of lamentation. This powerful image serves as a testament to Hollar's ability to convey complex emotions through his art. As we observe this heritage piece from Hans Holbein's collection at The Met museum, we are reminded of the universal concept of death that transcends time and geography. Regardless of our religious beliefs or cultural backgrounds, we can all relate to the pain associated with loss. Wenceslaus Hollar's "Entombment" invites us into a moment frozen in time - an eternal tribute to those who have passed on. It serves as a reminder that even amidst sorrowful farewells, there is beauty in honoring our loved ones' legacies.
