The Entombment (Bouts)
''The Entombment'' is a glue-size painting on linen〔Also known as ''Tiichlein'' or ''Tüchlein'', a technique in which pigments were bound in glue and painted on a cloth treated with glue, it was a delicate and fragile technique. See Spronk, 8〕 attributed to the Early Netherlandish painter Dieric Bouts. It shows a scene from the biblical entombment of Christ, and was probably completed between 1440 and 1455〔Koch, 509〕 as a wing panel for a large hinged polyptych altarpiece. The now-lost altarpiece is thought to have contained a central crucifixion scene flanked by four wing panel works half its height – two on either side – depicting scenes from the life of Christ. The smaller panels would have been paired in a format similar to Bouts' 1464–67 ''Altar of the Holy Sacrament''. The larger work was probably commissioned for export to Italy, possibly to a Venetian patron whose identity is lost.〔Campbell, 44〕 ''The Entombment'' was first recorded in a mid-19th century Milan inventory and has been in the National Gallery, London since its purchase on the gallery's behalf by Charles Lock Eastlake in 1861.
The painting is an austere but affecting portrayal of sorrow and grief. It shows four female and three male mourners grieving over the body of Christ. They are, from left to right, Nicodemus, Mary Salome, Mary of Clopas, Mary, the mother of Jesus, John the Evangelist, Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea.
It is one of the few surviving 15th-century paintings created using glue-size, an extremely fragile medium lacking durability. ''The Entombment'' is in relatively poor condition compared to panel paintings of similar age. Its colours are now far duller than when it was painted; they would, however, always have appeared as less intense and brilliant than those of comparable oil or tempera paintings on panel.〔Bomford, David. "(Art in the Making: The Entombment )" (Audio). National Gallery, London. Retrieved 18 June 2011.〕〔Jones, 10〕 The painting is covered by accumulated layers of grey dirt and cannot be cleaned without damaging the surface and removing large amounts of pigment as its glue-size medium is water-soluble.〔Leonard, 517〕 A strip at the top has been less affected than the rest because it was protected by a frame.〔Campbell, 38–41〕
