"Descent from the Cross" (1521) is a significant work by the Italian Mannerist painter Rosso Fiorentino, also known as Giovanni Battista di Jacopo. This painting is a notable example of the early Mannerist style, characterized by its emotional intensity, complex composition, and departure from the harmonious ideals of the High Renaissance. Fiorentino, born in 1494 in Florence, was a contemporary of artists such as Pontormo and Parmigianino, and he played a crucial role in the development of Mannerism in Italy.

The "Descent from the Cross" depicts the moment when Christ's body is being taken down from the cross after his crucifixion. The composition is marked by its dramatic use of color, elongated figures, and a sense of tension and movement that conveys the emotional gravity of the scene. Unlike the balanced and serene compositions of the High Renaissance, Fiorentino's work is dynamic and expressive, with figures that appear almost sculptural in their three-dimensionality.

The painting's use of light and shadow, along with its vivid, sometimes jarring color palette, enhances the emotional impact of the scene. The figures are arranged in a complex, almost chaotic manner, yet there is a clear sense of order and purpose in their actions. This complexity is a hallmark of Mannerist art, which often sought to evoke emotional responses through intricate compositions and exaggerated forms.

Fiorentino's "Descent from the Cross" is also notable for its departure from traditional iconography. While the subject matter is a common theme in Christian art, Fiorentino's interpretation is unique in its intensity and the way it captures the human suffering and divine sacrifice of the moment. This painting not only reflects the artist's technical skill but also his ability to convey deep emotional and spiritual themes through his art.

Today, "Descent from the Cross" is considered one of Rosso Fiorentino's masterpieces and an important work in the history of Mannerist painting. It exemplifies the transition from the ideals of the High Renaissance to the more expressive and experimental approaches of the Mannerist period.
