An etching by Sébastien Bourdon, 'Burying the Dead' depicts a scene of mourning and burial in an ancient city, rendered with detailed linework and expressive figures.
Sébastien Bourdon (1616-1671) was a French painter and printmaker, known for his classical and baroque styles. He was a prominent figure in the French art scene of the 17th century, becoming one of the original twelve members of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1648. Bourdon's work includes history paintings, portraits, and genre scenes, displaying a range of influences from Dutch and Italian masters. 'Burying the Dead' is an etching that depicts a scene of mourning and burial. The composition is filled with figures expressing grief, surrounding the bodies of the deceased. The setting appears to be an ancient city, suggested by the classical architecture in the background. Bourdon's skill in rendering human anatomy and emotion is evident in the detailed linework and expressive poses of the figures. The print captures a sense of solemnity and the shared human experience of loss.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
