The "Deposition from the Cross," also known simply as the "Deposition," is a seminal work of art created by the Italian Mannerist painter Jacopo Carucci, more commonly known as Pontormo. Completed between 1525 and 1528, this altarpiece is housed in the Capponi Chapel of the church of Santa Felicita in Florence, Italy. The painting is renowned for its vivid colors, complex composition, and emotional intensity, which mark a departure from the balanced and harmonious compositions of the High Renaissance.

Pontormo's "Deposition" is notable for its lack of traditional spatial depth and its swirling, almost chaotic arrangement of figures. The painting depicts the moment when Christ's body is being lowered from the cross, but it eschews the conventional iconography of the scene. Instead of a clear narrative, Pontormo presents an almost dreamlike tableau, where the figures seem to float in an ambiguous space, their elongated forms and exaggerated poses contributing to a sense of otherworldly drama.

The central figure of Christ is surrounded by a host of mourners, including the Virgin Mary, who appears to be on the verge of collapse, supported by other figures. The emotional intensity of the scene is heightened by Pontormo's use of color; the vibrant hues of the garments contrast sharply with the pallor of Christ's lifeless body, drawing the viewer's eye to the central tragedy of the composition.

Pontormo's innovative approach in the "Deposition" reflects the broader Mannerist movement's break from the ideals of the Renaissance. The painting's emotional expressiveness, complex composition, and departure from naturalism exemplify the Mannerist fascination with artifice and the exploration of new artistic possibilities. As such, the "Deposition" stands as a pivotal work in the history of Western art, illustrating the transition from the Renaissance to the more experimental and expressive styles of the 16th century.
