Contents The origins of the entombment of Christ -- The entombment of Christ: echoes of the performative piety of the sculpture at the Chartreuse de Champmol -- The entombment of Christ: the absent presence of the resurrected Christ and the Holy Sepulcher -- Hocus pocus: the entombment of Christ and medieval performance -- The entombments in the context of late medieval sculpture.
Summary Grief binds the worshipers together in an adagio of sorrow as they encounter the sculptural representation of the Entombment of Christ. Located in funerary chapels, parish churches, cemeteries, and hospitals, these works embody the piety of the later Middle Ages. In this book, Donna Sadler examines the sculptural Entombments from Burgundy and Champagne through a variety of lenses, including performance theory, embodied perception, and the invocation of the absent presence of the Holy Sepulcher. The author demonstrates how the action of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus entombing Christ in the presence of the Marys and John operates in a commemorative and collective fashion: the worshiper enters the realm of the holy and becomes a participant in the biblical event.
