Józef Simmler (1823–1868) was a prominent Polish painter of the 19th century, known for his works in the Romantic and Academic styles. One of his most notable paintings is Entombment (Złożenie do grobu), completed in 1859. This artwork is considered one of Simmler’s masterpieces and is highly regarded in Polish art history for its emotional depth, technical precision, and dramatic composition.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of Christ’s entombment, a subject that has been explored by many artists throughout history. In Simmler’s interpretation, the moment is rendered with solemnity and reverence, focusing on the grief and devotion of the figures surrounding Christ’s body. The central figure of Nicodemus is shown supporting the lifeless body of Christ, assisted by other mourners, including the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene, and John the Apostle. The composition is carefully arranged to emphasize the emotional connection between the figures, highlighting their sorrow and piety.

Simmler’s Entombment is notable for its meticulous attention to anatomical detail and the realistic portrayal of human emotion. The artist’s study of nude male figures, as seen in preparatory sketches and studies, contributed significantly to the lifelike representation of Christ’s body and the physicality of Nicodemus and other figures. These preparatory works demonstrate Simmler’s dedication to mastering human anatomy and achieving a high degree of realism in his final composition.

The painting is also distinguished by its use of light and shadow, which enhances the dramatic atmosphere of the scene. The subdued color palette and the interplay of light on the figures create a somber and contemplative mood, drawing the viewer into the narrative. Simmler’s skillful use of chiaroscuro reflects his academic training and his ability to convey depth and emotion through visual techniques.

Entombment is housed in the National Museum in Warsaw, where it remains an important example of 19th-century Polish religious art. The painting is often studied in the context of Polish Romanticism and the broader European tradition of religious painting. Simmler’s work, including Entombment, continues to be celebrated for its technical excellence and its ability to evoke profound emotional responses.
