Deposition of Christ

"Deposition of Christ" is a religious painting by Lorenzo Lotto, created circa 1510-1512 during the High renaissance period. This signed oil-on-wood panel depicts the poignant moment of Christ's removal from the cross, capturing intense emotion and religious significance. Originally part of a larger altarpiece with a likely predella scene, such as Christ Leading the Apostles to Mount Tabor, it exemplifies Lotto's mastery of composition and spiritual expression characteristic of the high renaissance style.
