{"product_id":"the-entombment-parmigianino","title":"The Entombment - Parmigianino","description":"\u003cp\u003eA fine etching by the Italian Mannerist master Parmigianino, depicting the Entombment of Christ with characteristic grace and elongated forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis etching by Parmigianino, a central figure of the Italian Mannerist movement, captures the solemnity of the Entombment of Christ. The composition is defined by the artist's characteristic elongation of the human form, a stylistic choice that moves away from the balanced proportions of the High Renaissance. The figures are arranged in a dense, emotive grouping, with the body of Christ positioned horizontally across the foreground. His form is rendered with a delicate, fluid line that suggests both physical weight and spiritual exhaustion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the right, a standing figure gestures towards the scene, providing a vertical contrast to the recumbent Christ. The background remains largely atmospheric, with light and shadow used to direct the viewer's gaze toward the central figures. Parmigianino employs a sophisticated hatching technique to build volume and texture, particularly in the drapery of the mourners and the musculature of the central figure. The crown of thorns lies discarded in the immediate foreground, a stark, singular detail that anchors the narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an etcher, Parmigianino was experimental, often using the medium to explore the same stylistic concerns found in his paintings and drawings. This work demonstrates his ability to translate the grace and tension of his draftsmanship into the print medium. The scene avoids rigid symmetry, opting instead for a rhythmic, almost serpentine flow of bodies that guides the eye across the frame. It is a work that rewards close inspection, revealing the technical precision behind the artist's expressive, elongated aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/tisiphone-rains-madness-on-athamas-and-ino-johann-wilhelm-baur\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTisiphone Rains Madness on Athamas and Ino - Johann Wilhelm Baur — Johann Wilhelm Baur\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/men-on-foot-and-dogs-fighting-a-large-bear-antonio-tempesta\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMen on Foot and Dogs Fighting a Large Bear - Antonio Tempesta — Antonio Tempesta\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Parmigianino","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58528003850575,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58528003916111,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58528004014415,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58528004047183,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58528004112719,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Entombment_Poster_CompositorV1_1786340884783.jpg?v=1787245285","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/the-entombment-parmigianino","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
