The Entombment of Christ
c.1775-1830Engraving | 14.8 x 16.7 cm (sheet of paper) | RCIN 850553
An engraving after a drawing depicting The Entombment of Christ. Trimmed within the platemark.
According to Cordellier/Py (see Bibliographic References) a print by Lucas Vostermann (dated 1628; see RCIN 850554 for it) reproduces a drawing by Raphael depicting The Entombment of Christ when in the Arundel collection. The composition of this drawing (now lost) is known through other drawings; among them, one in the Louvre, Paris (inv. no. 10165; probably reproduced in the print catalogued here), one listed by Ruland (1876) as being then in the possession of Sir George Warnon but not included in the Raphael Collection, one catalogued by Ruland (1876) as being then in the collection of Mr Grahl (see RCIN 850557 for a photograph of it) and the drawing in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. no. 197) reproduced in a print at RCIN 850551 (see RCIN 850556 for a photograph of the Albertina drawing).
The absence of the Hebrew text in this print makes it closer to the drawing in the Louvre, Paris rather than the drawing in the Albertina, Vienna.
