After the Crucifixion · From the Middle Ages to the Baroque · Body, group and mourning
The Deposition transforms the withdrawal of the body of Christ into a composition where weight, gestures and collective pain become visible.
In art history, the term Deposition generally refers to the time when the body of Christ is removed from the Cross, before Lamentation and Entombment. Joseph of Arimathea, authorized by Pilate to take the body, and Nicodemus direct action; the Virgin, Saint John and Mary Magdalene express mourning. Painters must render both the weight of an inert body and the coordination of numerous figures. Raphael moves the episode towards transport heroic, Dürer details gestures and accessories, Pontormo suspends bodies in an almost unreal space, while Sebastiano del Piombo constructs drama through mass and color. The "Deposition" selection notably compares Borghese Deposition - Raphaël Sanzio and Deposition - Albrecht Dürer. His reading favors space.
The Deposition is a painting of the passage: the body leaves the vertical axis of the Cross and enters the human circle of care, mourning and memory.
Course & style
Journey, subjects and pictorial language
Joseph obtains the body of Christ
With Nicodemus, he prepared the withdrawal of the Cross and the burial before the Sabbath. This milestone sheds light on the "Deposition" collection by favoring space.
The group becomes an emotional architecture
Ladders, arms, draperies and manholes organize the weight of the body and the reactions of loved ones.
Color and movement intensify the passage
Mannerism and baroque give the figures a new instability, energy or gravity.
