==Development of the image==

Even in early depictions the details and posing of the composition, and especially the position of Christ's body, are varied. The scene was usually included in medieval cycles of the Life or the [[Passion of Christ]], between the [[Crucifixion]] and the ''Entombment of Christ''. The ''[[Lamentation of Christ]]'', or ''[[Pieta]]'', showing the body of Christ held by Mary, may intervene between these two, and is common as an individual image, especially in [[sculpture]]. The ''Bearing of the body'', showing Christ's body being carried to his tomb, and the ''Anointing of Christ's body'', showing the body laid flat on the top of the tomb or a similarly-shaped "anointing-stone" are other scenes that may be shown. This last is especially important in Orthodox art, where it is shown on the [[Epitaphios]].
