Triptych of the Entombment (closed)
by HEEMSKERCK, Maerten van, Oil on oak, 219 x 66 cm (each wing)
Maerten van Heemskerck probably produced this imposing triptych for a church in Delft. It is a mature work, and one of the artist’s most accomplished paintings.
The reverse sides of the wings are decorated with the majestic figures of the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah.
