그리스도의 장례
ca. 1656-57
Imagine the stress of a deadline, but make it 17th-century religious drama. Poussin sketched this scene of Christ's burial near the end of his life, and you can feel the urgency in those scratchy, frantic lines. Unlike his super-polished, famous paintings where everyone stands like statues, this drawing is messy and emotional. It’s likely a 'thinking sketch'—a way for the artist to figure out where everyone should stand before painting the final version. It shows that even the great masters of the Baroque era had to doodle to get their ideas right.
