"The Entombment" (also known as "The Entombment of Christ") is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, executed between 1602 and 1603. This masterpiece is considered one of Caravaggio's most significant works, encapsulating the dramatic intensity and emotional depth characteristic of his mature style. The painting depicts the somber moment of Christ's followers laying his body in the tomb after the Crucifixion, a scene derived from the Christian Gospels.

Measuring approximately 300 cm × 203 cm (118 in × 80 in), "The Entombment" is a large oil on canvas that was originally created for the second chapel on the right in Santa Maria in Vallicella, a church in Rome. The work is now housed in the Vatican Museums, specifically in the Pinacoteca Vaticana, having been moved there in the 18th century.

Caravaggio's treatment of the subject is notable for its stark realism and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique involving strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth. The composition is tightly framed, with the figures almost spilling out of the picture plane, engaging the viewer in the immediacy of the event. The artist's masterful depiction of human emotion, from the mournful acceptance on the Virgin Mary's face to the strained exertion of the men carrying Christ, imbues the painting with a palpable sense of grief and devotion.

The Entombment is often praised for its innovative approach to the biblical narrative, eschewing the idealized representations common in the Renaissance in favor of a more direct and human portrayal. Caravaggio's influence on the development of Baroque art is evident in this work, which exemplifies his ability to combine the physical and spiritual to create powerful religious imagery that resonates with viewers to this day.
