EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Entombment" transports us back to the 18th century. Created by Tommaso Piroli, an Italian artist, this engraving beautifully captures a profound moment in Christian history. The scene depicts the burial of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. In this powerful image, we witness a group of grieving individuals surrounding the lifeless body of Christ. Both men and women are present, their faces filled with sorrow and anguish as they mourn the loss of their beloved Savior. Among them is the Virgin Mary, depicted with utmost tenderness and grief. Piroli's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The delicate lines bring out the raw emotions on each person's face while also highlighting their nakedness - a symbol of vulnerability before death. "The Entombment" not only showcases Piroli's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of our shared religious heritage. It invites us to reflect on themes such as faith, sacrifice, and redemption that have shaped Christianity throughout centuries. This remarkable piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it stands as a testament to Piroli's contribution to heritage art. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today, offering an opportunity for contemplation and connection with our spiritual roots.
