Die Grablegung

Deutsche Grafik 1250–1460, 1460/1480

This is a painting of a group of figures gathered around a bed or bier. The figures are depicted with halos and dressed in clothing typical of the medieval or renaissance periods. The central figures wear robes and the two figures in the background are wrapped in cloaks. There is an ornate patterned border framing the scene, and some figures wear green head coverings. The style is reminiscent of medieval religious art, with strong outlines and a modest use of color.
