Artist: Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi)
A Masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance
Discover one of Caravaggio's most admired altarpieces, The Entombment of Christ, a true masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance. Commissioned in 1603-1604 for the second chapel on the right in Santa Maria in Vallicella (the Chiesa Nuova), this painting is now part of the Vatican's collection.
A Visual Counterpart to the Mass
The Entombment of Christ is a visual counterpart to the Mass, with the priest raising the newly consecrated host and the painting depicting the mourners and cadaver-bearers descending to the limp, dead Christ. This powerful representation of the counter-reformation movement is not a moment of despair but a message of hope.
