"The Entombment of Christ" is a painting by Jan Massys (also spelled Matsys), a Flemish Renaissance artist known for his contributions to Northern Renaissance art. Born in 1509 in Antwerp, Jan was the son of Quentin Massys, a prominent painter of the time. Jan Massys's work often reflects the influence of Italian Renaissance alongside the Flemish painting tradition.

This particular work, "The Entombment of Christ," depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ's body being placed in the tomb after his crucifixion. It is a subject that has been frequently represented in Christian art, symbolizing the suffering and death of Christ before his resurrection. Massys's interpretation of this poignant moment is noted for its emotional depth and the use of rich colors, as well as the detailed rendering of the figures and their expressions.

The painting is executed in oil on panel, a common medium for the period, which allowed Massys to achieve a high level of detail and a luminous quality in the depiction of fabrics and surfaces. The composition typically shows the body of Christ being supported by several figures, including the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and other followers of Christ, each expressing their grief in different ways.

While the exact date of creation for "The Entombment of Christ" is not definitively known, it is believed to have been painted in the mid-16th century, during the latter part of Massys's career. The work is characteristic of the Northern Renaissance style, with its emphasis on realism and the emotional impact of religious scenes.

"The Entombment of Christ" by Jan Massys is an important work within the oeuvre of the artist and serves as a significant example of the religious art of the period. It reflects the transitional period in European art where the Gothic style was giving way to Renaissance ideals, and it showcases the blend of Flemish artistic traditions with the influence of Italian masters, a hallmark of Jan Massys's artistic legacy.
