73- Raffaello Sanzio, Deposizione di Cristo, 1507 -FG02

This painting depicts the physical exertion of several men carrying Christ's body toward a tomb on the left. To the right, the Virgin Mary collapses in grief and is caught by three female attendants, while the landscape in the distance shows the three crosses of Calvary. The figures are arranged in a complex, rhythmic composition that emphasizes both human anatomy and intense emotion.

This work represents the High Renaissance synthesis of classical form and Christian narrative, specifically adapting the composition of ancient Roman sarcophagi to depict the Entombment. This movement toward harmonizing pagan aesthetic ideals with Christian themes was a primary focus of the Neoplatonic circles in Florence and Rome during Raphael's career.
