The Burial - Simon Vouet
The solemnity of a funeral procession captured by Simon Vouet's baroque palette
In The Burial, Simon Vouet orchestrates a dramatic composition where close figures and shadow play sculpt emotion. Warm ochres, deep browns, and luminous highlights direct the gaze toward the coffin, while the vivid and controlled brushwork emphasizes the moral tension of the scene. The chiaroscuro, inherited from Italian masters, creates an atmosphere that is both solemn and intimate, making the gravity of the moment palpable. This art print reproduces the pictorial strength and the gestures of the characters to move the viewer at first glance.
