"Entombment" (Italian: "Trasporto di Cristo al sepolcro"), also known as "The Deposition," is a renowned masterpiece by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael. Created between 1507 and 1508, this significant work was commissioned as part of a Baglioni family chapel in the church of San Francesco al Prato in Perugia, Italy. The painting, now housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, is a pivotal piece that showcases Raphael's transition from the stylistic influences of his teacher, Perugino, to a more mature and expressive approach that would characterize his later works.

The painting measures 184 x 176 cm and is executed in oil on wood. It depicts the biblical scene of Christ's body being carried to its tomb following the crucifixion, a moment of profound grief and reflection. Raphael's composition is remarkable for its dynamic arrangement of figures and the emotional intensity conveyed through their gestures and expressions. The central group forms a pyramidal structure, a compositional technique that Raphael would continue to refine throughout his career.

"Entombment" is celebrated for its dramatic use of color and light, as well as its sophisticated handling of perspective and space. Raphael's ability to convey the human emotions of sorrow and devotion in such a vivid and compelling manner has been a subject of admiration and study for centuries. The painting is also notable for its influence on the development of Renaissance art, marking a significant moment in Raphael's artistic evolution and in the broader context of Italian painting.

This work has been extensively analyzed for its iconographic elements, including the depiction of the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist, and other figures traditionally associated with the Passion of Christ. Scholars have explored its thematic depth, technical execution, and historical context, contributing to its status as a critical work in Raphael's oeuvre and in the canon of Renaissance art.

Through "Entombment," Raphael not only fulfilled a significant commission but also asserted his emerging vision, blending traditional themes with innovative techniques and emotional depth. This painting stands as a testament to Raphael's genius at a pivotal moment in his career and remains a key work for understanding the evolution of Renaissance art and its enduring impact on the Western artistic tradition.
