LAYING IN THE Tomb, oil on canvas, 18th century

According to the Gospel of St. John, Joseph of Arimathea went to Pilate, asking him to bury his Teacher.

The man with Nicodemus anointed Christ's body with myrrh and aloes, and then clothed it with linen. Maria Magdalena and Józef's mother, Maria, watched the burial.

This figure group was enriched with a representation of Golgotha emerging from beyond the grave.
