The Entombment. Artist: Sir Edward Burne-Jones (British, Birmingham 1833-1898 Fulham). Dimensions: 12 x 18-3/4 in. (30.5 x 47.6 cm). Date: 1879.Burne-Jones conveys deep emotion in this design for George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle. When the earl's father died in 1879, he planned a monument to his parents, Mary and Charles Wentworth Howard, at Lanercost Priory, Cumbria. A bronze Nativity plaque commemorated his mother, who died in 1834 after giving birth to her son, and an Entombment honored his father. For the latter, a confined space filled with curving forms encloses the mourners and expresses a profound sense of grief, at once Christian and universal. The sculptor Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm (1834-1890) translated the designs into bronze. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: SIR EDWARD BURNE-JONES.
