Charles Le Brun - The Deposition of Christ from the Cross
This is one of the three replicas made from the lost original, which was painted during Le Brun´s stay in Rome. The central group of the painting is based on The Deposition painted after Michelangelo´s drawing by Daniele da Voltera for the Roman church SS. Trinit? dei Monti in 1541. Another painter who worked this very subject was Peter Paul Rubens.
