REMBRANDT VAN RHYN.
43
New Testament Subjects.
100. The Entombment. The scene exhibits the interior of
a vast cave, in which may be observed about fifteen persons.
The principal group consists of a man supporting the body of
the Saviour by a sheet, while another, bending down, holds the
legs, and a third is assisting at the head; by the side of the
latter is a woman kneeling and holding up her hand before
the light of a candle; at the same time, Joseph of Arimathea
stands by directing them. In the opposite side of the cave
are several persons approaching, one of whom carries a lantern.
Engraved by Basan, and styled Morts Enseveles. Described
from the print.
A picture of the above subject was sold in the collection of
De Heer Gillis Van Hoven, at Amsterdam, in 1755, for 60y7o.
3 ft. 8 in. by 3 ft.
101. The Entombment. A picture, composed of a number
of figures, was sold in the collection of De Heer Willem
Lormier, at the Hague, in 1763, for 2300/s., 207Z.
1 ft. 4fin. by \ft. 9 in.
102. The Resurrection of the Saviour. The miracle is
represented as occurring during the darkness of the night, the
obscurity of which is broken by a stream of light; an angel
has descended, and, while buoyant in the air, is removing the
massive stone which covers the entrance to the sepulchre, behind
which the Saviour is seen, still wearing his grave clothes. This
awful event has filled the guard with consternation and fright;
some of them have fallen to the ground, others are endeavouring
to escape, and one is precipitated headlong from the cover of the
tomb. This picture is become exceedingly dark by time, and
obscured by injuries, so that it is difficult to see the whole of
