The Entombment, from Speculum passionis domini nostri Ihesu Christi, 1507 - A Glimpse into the Depths of Sorrow
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a profound moment in religious history. Created by German artist Hans Schaufelein the Elder during the Northern Renaissance period, this woodcut artwork titled "The Entombment" depicts the burial of Jesus Christ. The scene unfolds within a mausoleum where grief-stricken figures gather around the lifeless body of Christ. The Virgin Mary, portrayed with utmost tenderness and sorrow, cradles her son's head while other women mourn nearby. The men present are equally consumed by grief as they carefully lower Jesus into his final resting place. Hans Schaufelein masterfully conveys emotions through intricate details and delicate lines. This woodcut print showcases his exceptional skill in capturing human expressions and conveying deep spiritual devotion. As we contemplate this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of the central tenets of Christianity - faith, sacrifice, and redemption. It invites us to reflect on our own mortality and consider how death can be transformed into an opportunity for rebirth. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece is part of Ulrich Pinder's influential book Speculum passionis domini nostri Ihesu Christi (Mirror of Our Lord's Passion). Through its timeless beauty and evocative imagery, "The Entombment" continues
