The Lowering of the Cross with Sts Mary ... is a 1618 oil by Giulio Cesare Procaccini, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
The painting depicts a dramatic scene with multiple figures. In the foreground, a man with wings is shown in a kneeling position, while another figure is being lowered from a cross. The background is dark, with other figures visible but not clearly defined. A notable detail is the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark. This creates a sense of depth and drama in the scene. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
