This painting by Florentine artist Francesco Botticini, depicts the moment of the Deposition of Christ. The scene is set in the immediate aftermath of Christ's crucifixion. His body is being taken down from the cross by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, with Mary, the Virgin Mother, supporting him. The figure in the white robe is likely Saint Francis, a prominent figure in Franciscan art. The sorrowful female figure kneeling on the ground at the bottom right is likely Mary Magdalene. The painting is characterized by its emotional intensity and its realistic depiction of the figures. Botticini's style is influenced by the artistic trends of the Early Renaissance. The painting serves as a poignant reminder of Christ's sacrifice.
