Deposition from the Cross 1903

"Deposition from the Cross" (1903) by Hungarian artist Karoly Ferenczy is a powerful depiction of a scene from the New Testament. The painting features a group of figures, including a man being carried by two others, and a woman, perhaps a mourner, expressing sorrow with her raised arms. Ferenczy, known for his symbolic and expressive style, uses rich color and somber tones to create a sense of profound emotion. The dark background and the close proximity of the figures draw the viewer into the scene, creating a sense of intimacy and shared grief. The scene is presented with a striking immediacy, suggesting the pain and anguish of the moment.
