Hans Holbein's Christ in his Tomb; a painting that heavily influenced, and is often mentioned in Dostoevsky's The Idiot.

The gradual shift from traditional to reformed religion can be charted in Holbein's work. His Body of the Dead Christ in the Tomb of 1522 expresses a humanist view of Christ in tune with the reformist climate in Basel at the time.
