'The Entombment', 1530. This later version of the plate shows the crown of thorns held over Christ's head like a victor's wreath. The graceful movements of the women turning towards or away from the light, and the virtuoso draughtsmanship of the artist, confer on the work a self-conscious style, or maniera, much admired in the Italian courts. This work represents Parmigianino's greatest success. The image is as much an exercise in virtuoso etching as it is a religious image.
