1484
paper
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Deposition from the Cross is a 1484 by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a faded, brownish print with a busy border and a central scene. The edges have repeating patterns of leaves or vines, while the middle looks worn but still shows faint figures—some standing, some kneeling. The colors are mostly dark browns and creams, with some areas almost rubbed away. The print is likely old, given its faded look and the way the paper shows age. It’s a kind of early printed art, not a painted canvas. Next, check out Renaissance to see how this style fits into that time.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
