Dostoevsky saw in Holbein an impulse similar to one of his own main literary preoccupations: the pious desire to confront Christian faith with everything that negated it, in this case the laws of nature and the stark reality of death.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Body_of_the_Dead_Christ_in_the_Tomb
