Altarpiece of the Passion, Eglise de Saint-Roch

Entombment scene, with Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea holding the body of Christ, with the Virgin Mary and behind, St John the Baptist, Mary of Clopas and Mary Salome, and a kneeling Mary Magdalene, kissing the hand of Christ, from the Altarpiece of the Passion, late 15th century, in the Eglise de Saint-Roch, Ternant, Nievre, Burgundy, France. The altarpiece was commissioned by Charles de Ternant, son of Philippe de Ternant, and depicts scenes of the Passion and the Glorification of Christ, including a sculpted triptych of the Entombment, Crucifixion and Pieta. It was made by Brabant and Flemish workshops in painted and gilded carved wood. The altarpiece has been restored many times and is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
