About the piece

Painted by Caravaggio around 1603, this monumental work depicts the body of Christ being carried to his tomb by Nicodemus and Saint John, surrounded by grieving Maries. The composition is celebrated for its radical realism and the masterful use of tenebrism, where figures emerge from a deep, atmospheric darkness into a stark, theatrical light.
