"Descent from the Cross" (also known as "Pieta") is a significant painting by Jacopo Tintoretto (Robusti), created around 1559. This work is an exemplary piece of the Mannerist style that was prevalent during the late Renaissance. Tintoretto, known for his dramatic compositions and rapid execution, brings a dynamic intensity to this religious scene.

The painting depicts the moment after the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, where his body is being lowered from the cross. This theme has been a poignant subject in Christian art, symbolizing the suffering and sacrifice of Christ. Tintoretto’s rendition is particularly noted for its emotional depth and complex interplay of light and shadow, which enhances the dramatic effect of the scene.

In "Descent from the Cross," Tintoretto employs a bold use of perspective and foreshortening to draw the viewer’s eye directly to the central figure of Christ. The surrounding figures, who are depicted in various states of grief and despair, are rendered with a strong sense of movement and urgency, which is a hallmark of Tintoretto’s style. The color palette is subdued, with dark tones predominating, punctuated by the stark whiteness of Christ’s body, which serves as a focal point of the composition.

This painting not only showcases Tintoretto’s mastery of painting techniques but also reflects the religious and cultural milieu of 16th century Venice. It is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy, where it continues to be an important piece for both historical and artistic studies. The work is celebrated for its artistic innovation and its capacity to convey profound religious sentiments, making it a critical piece in the oeuvre of Tintoretto and a significant artifact of Renaissance art.
