MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Entombment

🖼 Entombment, c. 1510
Tempera on wood
159 × 149 cm
London, United Kingdom

Rendered in oil with unfinished intensity, Christ's body descends into the tomb while mourning figures strain beneath its weight. The incomplete state reveals Michelangelo's working process and emotional rawness, transforming grief into sculptural form that influenced Renaissance compositions for generations.
