''Entombment'' is a painting by Peter Paul Rubens, a Flemish artist of the Baroque period renowned for his dynamic compositions, vibrant use of color, and sensuous figures. This work, created circa 1612, is a depiction of the biblical scene of Christ's burial after his crucifixion, a common subject in Christian art known as the Entombment of Christ. The painting is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.

Rubens' interpretation of the Entombment is characterized by its emotional intensity and dramatic use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, to heighten the sense of mourning and reverence surrounding the death of Christ. The composition is tightly arranged, with the figures positioned in a manner that guides the viewer's eye towards the central figure of Christ's lifeless body. The surrounding figures, which include the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, Saint John, and Joseph of Arimathea, are depicted with expressive gestures and faces that convey a profound sense of grief and devotion.

The painting's rich color palette and the masterful rendering of textures, from the heavy drapery of the garments to the softness of skin, showcase Rubens' skill in manipulating oil paint to achieve a sense of depth and realism. ''Entombment'' is considered a prime example of Rubens' early work and reflects the influence of his Italian contemporaries, particularly Caravaggio, in its tenebrism and the physicality of the figures.

As a significant work in the oeuvre of Peter Paul Rubens, ''Entombment'' has been the subject of art historical analysis and is recognized for its contribution to the development of Baroque painting in Northern Europe. The painting not only exemplifies Rubens' ability to convey complex human emotions but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of religious art to communicate narratives and evoke empathy.
