«Chapter 19*»

Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jews. With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night.

Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

Good Morning Dan, and ‘beautiful art-day’ to all.

Appreciate you posting so many; they show real grief, even hopelessness...
But soon their tears would be turned to joy.

Have a couple of sculpture questions for Dan and etabeta:

#51 Richier: are those real windows in the background, and what is the scale?

#57 Sanmaritno : Stunning! I believe this work matches the skill of the Greek “Elgin Marbles”.

Thank You Dan!

Thank you, Dan, as always.
#3 Tissot
#7 by an anonymous artist who included a kneeling Roman soldier in his version of this sad event.
#7 Bloch
#18 a splendid Caravaggio
#23 Rubens
#38 Zsolnay, truly wonderful
#51 the monumental masterpiece of the sculptor Richier. He never achieved the fame he should have deserved.

Searched just now for data on Richier's sculpture but struck out.

Suggest you try this link to the homepage of Sanmartino's Veiled Christ.

Without appearing to second-guess your favorites: you don't care much for Veiled Christ?

The veiled Christ is stunning, but gazing upon Christ’s face from the Shroud?
Unforgettable!

The Richier sculpture is in the St Etienne Church of Saint-Mihiel, France. The 13 figures are slightly larger than life and are carved out of fine-grained Meuse limestone. This is the sculptor’s last known work in France.

While I admire the craftsmanship of such works, I never liked to see veiled faces, Christ or Saints.

Thank you etabeta; Richier was certainly highly skilled.

Hey Dan, thank you so much for the link to the sculpture’s website. Greatly enjoyed the story behind it, and the photos.

(even checked the museum ticket price: 10 Euros =:^)

BONUS ROUND: As long as you’re checking, Leon, what is the cost for entry into heaven?

Dan, it’s within reach of the poorest man:

Honest Repentance, then Trust in Christ’s Atoning Sacrifice.
