EDITORS COMMENTS
The Entombment of Christ in the southern transept, 1496 (stone) captures a poignant moment in religious history. This print showcases a statuary group known as the Saints of Solesmes, possibly crafted by Michel Colombe, within the Abbey of St. Peter in Solesmes, France. The scene depicts the solemn burial of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. The figures surrounding him are filled with grief and mourning; their expressions convey deep sorrow and reverence for their fallen savior. The Virgin Mary stands at the center, her face etched with profound sadness as she cradles her son's lifeless body. Roman soldiers stand guard nearby, representing both the power that led to Christ's execution and their eventual conversion to Christianity. Joseph of Arimathea tenderly holds Jesus' feet while Nicodemus supports his head with utmost care. Mary Magdalene kneels beside them, overcome by anguish and devotion. John leans forward to touch Jesus' hand one last time before he is laid to rest. This Renaissance masterpiece encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in Christian theology but also showcases the skillful artistry of its creator. The intricate details carved into each figure's clothing and facial features demonstrate an exceptional level of craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring impact that faith can have on art throughout history.
