The Entombment of Christ (Lotto)

The Entombment of Christ is a 1513–1516 oil on canvas painting by Lorenzo Lotto, now in the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo.[1] It originally formed the central predella panel (one of three) to the artist's Martinengo Altarpiece at the church of Santi Bartolomeo e Stefano. The other predellas were Saint Dominic Reviving Napoleone Orsini and The Stoning of St Stephen.

The whole work was commissioned by Alessandro Martinengo Colleoni for the Dominicans in the church of Santo Stefano. When that church and its monastery were destroyed to built Venice's city walls in 1561, the altarpiece itself was moved into the new church, but all three predellas were removed and moved elsewhere. The three predella panels were then stolen in 1650, returned and moved to the church's sacristy, where the three panels were split up to different buyers in 1749, destroying the large anchor holding them together. Entombment was sold to its present owner in 1891.
