Subject: The scene depicted represents a Deposition from the Cross, with several figures around the body of Christ.In the background, three crosses and a ladder can be seen, typical elements of the crucifixion. There are five main figures: the deposed Christ, a female figure caressing his hand (Mary Magdalene), another female figure behind them (the Virgin Mary), an elderly man with a turban and beard holding a hammer, nails, and the crown of thorns (possibly Joseph of Arimathea), and John the Evangelist with a red cloak. The presence of the three crosses in the background on the left and a mountain or rock on the right (Golgotha) immediately contextualize the scene. Materials: Support: Solid wood panel, with evident grain and irregularities on the back. Pictorial technique: Egg tempera on panel Pigments: Earthy colors (ochre, browns), deep reds (cinnabar or burnt sienna), blues, and whites can be observed. The halos and some decorative details are made with gold leaf or golden pigment. Conservation Conditions: Craquelure: The painting presents a dense and widespread network of craquelure, i.e., fissures in the pictorial layer, typical of the aging of panel paintings and thermo-hygrometric variations. The craquelure is more evident in the light areas and in the complexions. Previous Restorations: Isolated pictorial retouching. Support: The back of the panel shows signs of time, such as scratches, small fissures, and superficial alterations of the wood. Style and Dating: Style: The style is characterized by figures with stylized but expressive faces, fluid drapery, and a composition that recalls the religious iconographic tradition. The halos and the use of gold for decorative details suggest a Byzantine or post-Byzantine influence. Details such as the man's turban and the instruments of the Passion (hammer and nails) are consolidated iconographic elements. Dating: Based on the pictorial style, the craquelures, and the general appearance, the work dates back to a period between the 16th and 17th centuries. Dimensions: 43 x 54 cm.
