"The Entombment of Christ: Developing Religious Imagination through Painting"

Dr. Eileen Burke-Sullivan
Department of Theology

A comparative exploration of Ruben’s The Entombment with Delacroix’s painting of the same name (in the Joslyn collection) from the Romantic period more than a century later. What artistic techniques relate to the actual popular spirituality and faith intellectual understanding within these periods? How do the artistic images continue to influence the spiritual life of Christians today?
