About the piece

Painted in 1747 by the Polish Baroque artist Szymon Czechowicz, this work depicts the burial of Christ with a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro. The composition focuses on the heavy, physical reality of the scene, illuminated by a localized light source that emphasizes the textures of fabric and the sorrowful expressions of the surrounding figures.
