"Jesus au Tombeau" (English: "Jesus in the Tomb") is a renowned painting by the French artist Jean-Jacques Henner. Created in the late 19th century, this work is a quintessential example of Henner's preoccupation with religious themes and his mastery of chiaroscuro, the technique of using strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures.

The painting depicts a recumbent Christ, post-crucifixion, with an emphasis on the serene and somber mood evoked by the portrayal of the lifeless body. Henner's use of muted colors and soft light imbues the scene with a sense of piety and reflection. The composition is notable for its simplicity and the way it focuses the viewer's attention on the figure of Jesus, whose pale skin stands out against the dark background, highlighting the artist's skill in rendering the human form with both realism and a touch of idealism.

Jean-Jacques Henner (1829–1905) was a prominent figure in French academic painting, and his works often reflect the influence of the Italian Renaissance and the Romantic movement. "Jesus au Tombeau" is considered one of his most significant religious paintings and is characteristic of his contemplative and often melancholic approach to such subjects.

The painting is part of Henner's broader oeuvre, which includes portraits, nudes, and mythological scenes, all marked by a distinctive use of light and shadow. "Jesus au Tombeau" not only exemplifies Henner's artistic techniques but also serves as a reflection of the religious sentiment and artistic preferences of the period in which it was created.

Today, "Jesus au Tombeau" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a representation of Henner's contribution to 19th-century French art. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its emotional depth and technical proficiency, and it holds a place in the collections of museums dedicated to preserving the legacy of French painting.
