"The Entombment" is a painting by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino), created between 1507 and 1508. This work is a significant example of Raphael's early maturity and showcases his ability to convey complex emotional narratives through composition and expression. The painting was commissioned by Atalanta Baglioni in memory of her son, Grifonetto Baglioni, who was murdered in 1500. It was originally intended for the Baglioni Chapel in the church of San Francesco al Prato in Perugia, Italy.

The painting depicts the moment when Christ's body is being carried to the tomb, a scene that is not directly described in the canonical Gospels but is a synthesis of the events following the Crucifixion. The composition is notable for its dynamic arrangement and the emotional intensity of the figures. Raphael employs a pyramidal structure, drawing the viewer's eye towards the central figure of Christ, who is being carried by several mourners, including the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and John the Evangelist. The expressions of grief and sorrow are masterfully rendered, showcasing Raphael's skill in capturing human emotion.

Raphael's use of color and light in "The Entombment" is particularly striking. The artist employs a rich palette and subtle gradations of light and shadow to enhance the three-dimensionality of the figures and the depth of the scene. The landscape in the background, with its serene and harmonious depiction of nature, contrasts with the intense emotional drama in the foreground, creating a balanced and cohesive composition.

"The Entombment" is also significant for its influence on later artists. Raphael's innovative approach to composition and his ability to convey narrative through gesture and expression had a profound impact on the development of Renaissance art. The painting remains an important work in Raphael's oeuvre and a testament to his artistic genius. Today, "The Entombment" is housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, where it continues to be admired for its beauty and emotional power.
