Flemish Baroque artist Abraham Janssen van Nuyssen presents a solemn and deeply emotional depiction of Christ’s body resting in the tomb, attended by two grieving angels. The composition reflects the influence of Caravaggio, with its dramatic chiaroscuro—a striking contrast of light and shadow that enhances the physicality of Christ’s lifeless form and the sorrowful expressions of the angels.

Janssen was a skilled practitioner of the Flemish Baroque tradition, known for his ability to combine dramatic lighting with meticulous detail. His work often emphasizes both human emotion and devotional intensity, and in this painting, the careful rendering of drapery, wounds, and gestures demonstrates his commitment to realism and spiritual resonance. Through this, Janssen invites viewers into a contemplative space where divine sacrifice and human grief converge.
