"Deposition" (Italian: "Deposizione nel sepolcro"), also known as "The Entombment of Christ," is a renowned painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Completed in 1604, this masterpiece is considered one of Caravaggio's greatest works and is a seminal piece that exemplifies his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his profound influence on the Baroque style of painting.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of the entombment of Christ, as described in the Gospels. In the composition, the lifeless body of Jesus is being placed into a tomb by several figures, including Nicodemus and John the Evangelist, who are shown straining under the weight of Christ's body. They are accompanied by Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary, who is portrayed in a state of collapse, her sorrow palpable.

Caravaggio's treatment of the subject is notable for its stark realism and emotional intensity. The figures are rendered with a naturalism that was groundbreaking for the time, and the use of light and shadow not only gives the painting a three-dimensional quality but also serves to highlight the drama and gravity of the moment. The dark background and the stark lighting focus the viewer's attention on the central group, creating a powerful and intimate portrayal of grief and devotion.

Measuring approximately 300 cm × 203 cm (118 in × 80 in), "Deposition" is housed in the Pinacoteca Vaticana of the Vatican Museums in Vatican City. The work was originally commissioned for the chapel of Pietro Vittrice in the church of Santa Maria in Vallicella, also known as the Chiesa Nuova, in Rome. Its art historical significance lies not only in its technical brilliance but also in its emotional impact and its pivotal role in the development of Baroque painting.

Caravaggio's "Deposition" has been widely studied and admired, influencing countless artists and earning a place as one of the most important works in the canon of Western art. Its powerful depiction of human emotion and its revolutionary use of light and shadow make it a touchstone for both the Baroque period and the broader history of painting.
