Pontormo’s Entombment presents with extreme awkwardness that makes the initial viewing of the piece unappealing. The physical positions which Pontormo’s has painted the subject seem nothing short of completely unnatural to the scene. This is particularly true with regards to the young male in the foreground, who can be seen squatting on his tiptoes under the legs of Christ. Most notable though is the bizarre choice in colors. Skintight clothing paired with draping fabrics are seen in bright pastel versions of pink, yellow and blue, along side of olive green and all set against an almost baron sky, that has no defined separation from the earth.

Poussin used mythical, historical and religious story as most of his themes, his artworks has rigorous composition, the atmosphere quiet, idyllic rich lyrical flavor. Roman Landscape with Saint Matthew and the Angel is one of them.
