Burial of Christ - Fra Angelico

5/11 - Fra Angelico Series

Invite the moving solemnity and emotional depth of Early Renaissance art into your collection with this exquisite art print of the Burial of Christ (also known as the Lamentation) by Italian master Fra Angelico.

This poignant print portrays the sorrowful moments before Christ is placed into his tomb. The lifeless body of Jesus is gently cradled by his devoted followers outside a rock-hewn sepulcher. The Virgin Mary tenderly supports his head, while Mary Magdalene and other holy women weep over his body. Standing on the far left in quiet, somber observation is Saint Dominic, who holds a lily as a symbol of purity, bridging the historical biblical event with the perpetual devotion of the monastic order.

Painted between 1440 and 1442, this evocative piece is a reproduction of the original fresco located in Cell 2 of the Convento di San Marco in Florence, Italy. Fra Angelico masterfuly traded dramatic chaos for a quiet, deeply restrained grief. Because this fresco was painted directly onto the wall of a Dominican monk's private living quarters, it was crafted with a simplified composition to inspire deep empathy, quiet prayer, and personal spiritual reflection on Christ's sacrifice.
