Dark painting of a pale body being lowered in a dim cave, lit by a strong light, with robed mourners gathered around the stone slab.

The Entombment of Christ

A dim cave interior is lit by a single warm light falling on a pale, limp body laid across a stone slab. Several robed figures lean in to lift and support the cloth, while others stand in shadow and a bearded figure kneels at the right edge.

Español: El entierro de Cristo

El interior oscuro de una cueva está iluminado por una luz cálida que cae sobre un cuerpo pálido y sin fuerzas tendido en una losa de piedra. Varias figuras con túnicas se inclinan para sostener la tela, mientras otras permanecen en la sombra y un hombre barbado se arrodilla al borde derecho.

O interior escuro de uma caverna é iluminado por uma luz quente que incide sobre um corpo pálido e inerte deitado numa laje de pedra. Várias figuras de vestes se inclinam para erguer o pano, enquanto outras permanecem na sombra e um homem barbado ajoelha-se na borda direita.
