Entombment of Christ

Moderno (Galeazzo Mondella) Italian

Not on view

The composition, in particular the body of Christ, is derived from a gilt-bronze Entombment relief from Mantua, possibly after a design by Andrea Mantegna. This piece is an old aftercast with considerable loss of detail, possibly from the seventeenth century.
