About the piece

Painted in 1607 by Italian Baroque master Sisto Badalocchio, this work captures the somber moment of Christ being carried to his tomb. The composition is defined by its intense use of light and shadow—chiaroscuro—characteristic of the Bolognese school, focusing the viewer's eye on the pale, illuminated body of Christ surrounded by mourning figures.
