Marble grave stele with a family group ca. 360 B.C. Greek, Attic Because the framing niche that once surrounded this relief is missing, there are no inscriptions that might identify the deceased. Both the seated man and the veiled woman behind him stare straight ahead, as if the young woman who gazes down at them were invisible. Do they mourn their dead daughter Does she mourn her dead father, or is she the sole survivor of the group Despite its ambiguity and solemn sadness, the relief conveys an intense, though restrained, sense of family unity. Carved by a master, this grave stele is one of the most magnificent examples that have survived from the classical period.

They extended the precepts of Renaissance art deep into the seventeenth century, thanks to Kern's memories of his study in Italy (1609-12) and his emulation of Italian masters such as Giambologna. To the latter he may owe the V-shaped cleft in the mountains that part in this scene to reveal Jerusalem and to enframe the Holy Women above center, as well as the rectilinear cluster of figures at right that include Joseph of Arimathea, carrying a stack of linens and directing the preparation of the dead Christ's body for burial. Yet these are not strict quotations and the design, characteristically for Kern, is full of original touches, especially the angel at center, rare to this episode, who serves as intermediary between God and man whose wings greatly activate the
