The Entombment

John Baptist Jackson after Jacopo Bassano

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a wooded area with several individuals gathered around a central figure draped in cloth. In the background, there is a cityscape under a cloudy sky above the trees. The artwork is detailed with emphasis on line and form, using a sepia color palette. Trees frame the sides, with torches held by some figures adding vertical light elements.
