Deposition (Pieta), The painting shows Christ after his death on the cross. He is held by Saint John the Evangelist on the far left in a yellow cloak, who holds up his head and chest; Saint Mary Magdalene in a blue gown and red cape has hit feet on the far right; and Mary the Mother of Christ in blue veil and cloak holds her son's chest and has him seated on her lap. Surrounding the scene are various saints, identified by their attributes. Above there are putti--winged, nude infants--flying the cross, nails, and spears--the instruments of the Passion--away from the scene. This is a devotional image, meant to conjure emotion with its dramatized emotion rendered in the figures. The scene's composition in the Baroque style with its hunched and cramped figures in an awkward style that is meant to increase the increase the intensity and energy of the scene. Furthermore, since all of these saints were believers in Christ after his death, they could not have been present for the deposition. Instead, they are shown to venerate the scene in the spiritual sense. This is a basic record created to enable public access to scanned images. Full research on this image is pending., 1543-45
