The Embalming of Christ

Deutsche Grafik um 1480, hacia 1480/1490

This is a painting of a group of figures surrounding and attending to an unclothed, reclining human figure. The figures have halos around their heads. The central reclining figure is the focal point, with others showing varied expressions. The colors are muted and earthy, with ink outlines defining each form. The style is reminiscent of the Master of the Playing Cards, known for medieval woodcut prints. The scene portrays a somber and reverent tone.
