Christ in Sepulchre
1935-1942
Instead of a dark, gloomy cave, this depiction of Christ in the tomb looks like a beautifully decorated, almost Art Deco-style box, complete with bright red flowers and blue geometric patterns. The figure lies stretched out horizontally, visible through the vertical bars, with a prominent wound on his hand marking the crucifixion. Created by E. Boyd between 1935 and 1942, the piece feels more like a vibrant design for a stained glass window or textile than a traditional somber religious painting. It blends sacred imagery with a modern, graphic flair that makes the scene feel surprisingly lively and decorative.
