Early to mid- 18th century
The Entombment
Johann Balthasar ProbstGerman, 1673 - 1750
This print is a pastiche of motifs from many different Dürer engravings; Mary's pose, to the right of the composition, recalls that of the famous figure in Dürer's Melencolia. Although to modern eyes the finished product is hardly deceptive, it is signed with Dürer's monogram on the tablet that hangs from the tree.
