The painting consists of 12 people: a group of people in the middle was the center of the plot, an angel was holding the cross, and the light was coming from this side. And two men took just under the cross of Christ and their eyes were concentrating in the face of Christ, displaying the anxiety; on the left side a woman devoutly got on her knees with both hands holding the Christ’s feet, showing a grief feeling. Behind, the virgin Maria had been fainted because of excessive sadness. A pair of young people supported her as she did not fall and the woman on the left also felt sad due to the heard news. On the right side, a group of people also shrouded in a quiet atmosphere, especially the third person on the right sitting in the dark further added the plot atmosphere which was deep, blue and silent. At the same time, a touch of unrest was also floated in silence.

Entombment ceremony of Christ was originally sacred and solemn, and in Caravaggio’s pen, it was just plain and simple poor funeral scene. With real life events and figures, the painter depicted the sacred religious themes. The figures were arranged in the diagonal position, and Jesus as the main image was naked in the light, which was portrayed as a strong and lives on in spirit, like a hero. John and Peter held the remains of Jesus very devoutly. Peter was portrayed as a plain farmer with particularly eye-catching strong feet. The sad mother stretched out her right hand to caress farewell, and the girl who burst into tears was the saint Vala, and the behind was the grief with uplifted arms woman was the soul saved by Jesus. The whole painting was the epitome of a family tragedy. The spotlight, strong chiaroscuro painting for layout shaped the character and image, which was Caravaggio artistic style. He was not affected by the natural light. From the painter’s creative intention, the painting was composed of equalization, echo and the beauty of rhythm.
