EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Virgin of Sorrows: The Entombment" one of the nine surrounding compartments from the renowned artwork, the Virgin of Sorrows. Created by Giorgio Ghisi in 1575 during the 16th century, this engraving beautifully depicts a biblical scene filled with profound emotion. In this poignant image, we witness the sorrowful moment when Jesus Christ's lifeless body is being laid to rest in a cave-like burial site. Surrounding him are his grieving mother, Mary, also known as the Virgin Mary or Madonna, and other mourners who express their anguish through tears and cries. The composition skillfully captures both male and female figures immersed in deep mourning. Giorgio Ghisi's attention to detail is evident in every line etched into this masterpiece. The delicate shading techniques used create a striking contrast between light and dark areas, enhancing the overall sense of grief portrayed within each character's face. Displayed at The Met museum, this historical artwork not only represents an important aspect of Christian religious beliefs but also serves as a testament to Italian heritage art. Through its powerful portrayal of human emotions intertwined with religious devotion, "The Virgin of Sorrows: The Entombment" continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation.
