About the piece
Attributed to Alessandro Magnasco around 1725, this work captures the emotional gravity of the Entombment. The piece is a masterclass in Baroque drama, using a high-contrast 'chiaroscuro' effect to draw the eye toward the central figures. Magnasco's signature nervous, flickering brushstrokes give the scene a sense of spiritual energy and urgency, making it a powerful example of 18th-century Italian painting.
