EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Entombment" by Giovanni Temini, created around 1622. The image transports us back to the 17th century, immersing us in the Baroque era. In this powerful engraving, we witness a poignant scene of grief and mourning. At the center of the composition lies Jesus Christ's lifeless body, surrounded by his devoted followers. Mary Magdalene tenderly cradles his head while gesturing towards him with deep sorrow etched on her face. The Virgin Mary stands nearby, her expression a mix of anguish and acceptance as she contemplates her son's fate. The artist skillfully captures the raw emotions of those present at this solemn moment. Their long hair flows freely as they mourn their beloved Messiah. Tools such as pincers and nails symbolize Christ's crucifixion, reminding viewers of his sacrifice for humanity. "The Entombment" is not only a religious depiction but also an exploration of human suffering and compassion. Through this artwork, Temini invites us to reflect on themes like death, faith, and motherhood. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this engraved masterpiece serves as a testament to Italian heritage artistry during the seventeenth century. It offers visitors an opportunity to connect with history while contemplating profound questions about life and spirituality.
