The Entombment of Christ

Although Dirck van Baburen based his Entombment on Caravaggio's masterpiece, he nevertheless managed to present the story in an original way. Baburen portrays Christ in more of a seated posture, and where Caravaggio explicitly shows the dead body of Christ, Baburen places the viewer more in the role of accidental witness.
Baburen painted this Entombment in Rome, most likely not long after the creation of his original altarpiece, which can still be found in the San Pietro in Monitorio Rome
