Original – The Entombment (probably 1450s), Dieric Bouts; a painting in which pigments were bound with glue before being attached to linen by Bouts, an Early Netherlandish painter. According to the FA article, the “painting is an austere but affecting portrayal of sorrow and grief. It shows four female and three male mourners grieving over the body of Christ.”
