"Predella: Deposition" (1488) is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Bartolomeo di Giovanni, also known as Bartolommeo di Giovanni Alagna or Baccio. This artwork is a predella panel, which is a smaller, subsidiary painting or series of paintings located beneath the main panel of an altarpiece. The "Deposition" refers to the scene depicted in the artwork, which is the moment when the body of Jesus Christ is taken down from the cross following the Crucifixion, a common theme in Christian art.

Created in 1488, the predella panel is a fine example of the Florentine school of painting, showcasing the stylistic characteristics and the devotional practices of the period. Bartolomeo di Giovanni was known for his collaboration with the renowned artist Domenico Ghirlandaio and for his contributions to the decoration of the Sistine Chapel. His work on the "Predella: Deposition" reflects the influence of his contemporaries and his skill in rendering religious narratives with emotional depth and clarity.

The panel is executed in tempera on wood, a medium typical of the time before the widespread adoption of oil painting in Italy. The composition likely features the traditional arrangement of figures in a landscape or architectural setting, with attention to the human form and the use of perspective, which were hallmarks of Renaissance art. The use of color, light, and shadow would have been employed to enhance the drama of the scene and to guide the viewer's attention to the central action of Christ's body being lowered to the ground.

As a part of an altarpiece, this predella panel would have served both an aesthetic and an educational function, complementing the larger central image and helping to convey the narrative of Christ's Passion to the faithful. The exact original location and the altarpiece to which it belonged may provide additional context for understanding the work, as well as its relationship to other pieces by Bartolomeo di Giovanni.

Today, "Predella: Deposition" is recognized as an important work within Bartolomeo di Giovanni's oeuvre and within the broader context of late 15th-century Italian art. Its current whereabouts or collection, if known, would be of interest to art historians and the public, offering insights into the provenance and the reception of the piece over time.
