The "Deposition of Christ" is a fresco by the Italian painter Taddeo Gaddi, a prominent pupil of Giotto. Located in the Bardi Chapel of the Basilica di Santa Croce in Florence, this work is part of a series of frescoes that depict scenes from the life and Passion of Christ. The Bardi Chapel, dedicated to St. Sylvester, was commissioned by the wealthy Bardi family, who were influential bankers in Florence during the 14th century.

Taddeo Gaddi, who worked extensively in Florence, is considered one of the leading artists of his time, and his work in the Bardi Chapel is a testament to his mastery of fresco technique and narrative expression. The "Deposition of Christ" specifically illustrates the moment after the Crucifixion when Christ's body is being taken down from the cross, a scene that is both poignant and rich with emotional resonance.

The fresco is notable for its composition and the use of color, as well as its depiction of human emotion and the treatment of drapery, which shows the influence of Gaddi's teacher, Giotto. Gaddi's work bridges the gap between the Byzantine art traditions and the emerging Renaissance style, and his frescoes in the Bardi Chapel, including the "Deposition of Christ," are considered important examples of early Italian Renaissance painting.

The Bardi Chapel frescoes have been the subject of extensive art historical research and conservation efforts. The "Deposition of Christ" is particularly admired for its dramatic representation of the event and its significance in the development of Florentine art. As part of the larger narrative cycle in the chapel, this fresco contributes to the overall storytelling and devotional purpose of the space, offering viewers a deeply moving visual reflection on the themes of sacrifice, redemption, and human compassion.
