"The Deposition from the Cross" is an illuminated manuscript page from the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," one of the most famous and luxurious illuminated manuscripts of the 15th century. This particular folio is attributed to Pol de Limbourg, one of the Limbourg brothers, who were renowned Dutch miniature painters active in France at the beginning of the 15th century. The manuscript was commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, who was a noted patron of the arts and a member of the French royal family.

The "Deposition from the Cross" depicts the biblical scene of the removal of Christ's body from the crucifix, a common subject in Christian art that emphasizes the human suffering and divine sacrifice of Jesus. This specific illumination is notable for its intricate detail, rich color palette, and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and postures. The Limbourg brothers' work is characterized by its blend of Gothic and International Gothic styles, with a particular attention to naturalism and the use of bold colors.

As part of the "Très Riches Heures," this image is part of a larger collection of prayers and devotional texts, known as a Book of Hours, which was intended for the private use of the Duke of Berry. The manuscript as a whole is considered a masterpiece of the International Gothic style and is significant for its artistic quality, historical value, and the insight it provides into the devotional practices and daily life of the European elite during the late Middle Ages.

The "Très Riches Heures" remains in the collection of the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, and continues to be a subject of study for art historians and medievalists, as well as a treasured example of medieval European art. "The Deposition from the Cross" stands as a testament to the Limbourg brothers' skill and the rich tradition of manuscript illumination during this period.
