Pontormo's use of color adds depth and intensity to this Renaissance piece. The vibrant hues enhance each character's individuality while emphasizing their collective suffering. This painting serves as a poignant reminder not only of Jesus' sacrifice but also highlights themes such as family bonds, love, and devotion. "The Deposition from the Cross" is an exquisite representation of religious art that continues to resonate with viewers today.
