PONTORMO, Jacopo
(b. 1494, Pontormo, d. 1557, Firenze)

Deposition (detail)

c. 1528
Oil on wood
Cappella Capponi, Santa Felicità, Florence

Christ is carried by two young men (one of the shown in this detail) both of whom look forward to where they are doing. There is a general influence from Michelangelo's Cascina cartoon in the thin, muscular figures that crouch and turn.
