"The Deposition of Christ" (Italian: "Deposizione di Gesù") is a renowned 19th-century painting by the Swiss-Italian artist Antonio Ciseri. Completed in 1865-1870, this work is a prime example of Ciseri's religious artistry and is considered one of his masterpieces. The painting depicts the biblical scene of Christ's body being removed from the cross after the Crucifixion, a moment that has been a poignant subject in Christian art, known as the Deposition or Descent from the Cross.

Ciseri's interpretation of this scene is noted for its dramatic realism and emotional intensity. The composition focuses on the lifeless body of Jesus as it is carefully lowered to the ground by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, with the Virgin Mary and other figures from the New Testament, including Mary Magdalene and John the Apostle, expressing grief and despair. The use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, enhances the solemn mood of the painting and draws the viewer's attention to the central figures.

Measuring 300 x 206 cm, "The Deposition of Christ" is housed in the Gallery of Modern Art in Florence, Italy. Ciseri's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey deep emotion through his work have earned this painting a significant place in the history of religious art. It reflects the influence of the Italian Renaissance while also showcasing the artistic trends of the 19th century, bridging the gap between historical religious iconography and the evolving styles of the time.

The painting is not only a testament to Ciseri's skill as a painter but also serves as a devotional image that has inspired viewers for generations. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its powerful representation of a pivotal moment in Christian narrative.
