"The Entombment" is a painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, created circa 1612 as part of a series of works depicting the Passion of Christ. This Baroque masterpiece is renowned for its dramatic representation of the biblical scene of Jesus Christ's burial, following his crucifixion. The painting is currently housed in the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada.

Rubens' depiction of "The Entombment" is characterized by its dynamic composition, rich color palette, and the emotional intensity of the figures. The artist's use of chiaroscuro— the contrast of light and shadow— enhances the three-dimensionality of the forms and contributes to the overall pathos of the scene. The painting features several figures, including the Virgin Mary, John the Evangelist, and Mary Magdalene, all of whom display profound grief and devotion as they lay Christ's body to rest in the tomb.

As a leading figure of the Flemish Baroque tradition, Rubens was known for his ability to convey movement and emotion in his works, and "The Entombment" is no exception. The painting's composition draws the viewer's eye across the canvas, following the diagonal lines formed by the arrangement of the figures and the drapery of their garments. This dynamic quality is a hallmark of Rubens' style and serves to engage the viewer in the unfolding narrative.

"The Entombment" is often praised for its humanistic portrayal of the biblical figures, as Rubens imbued them with a sense of weight and corporeality that was innovative for his time. The artist's mastery of the human form, as well as his skillful handling of paint, is evident in the realistic textures of skin, fabric, and the surrounding environment.

As a significant work in the oeuvre of Peter Paul Rubens, "The Entombment" has been the subject of scholarly attention and is considered an important example of Baroque religious art. Its influence can be seen in the works of subsequent generations of artists, and it continues to be admired for its artistic and emotional depth.
