The artwork, found in the Collection of Cattedrale di San Lorenzo in Perugia, Italy, showcases Barocci's mastery of Mannerism and his deep understanding of biblical narratives. In this scene, we witness Christ being gently lowered from the cross after his crucifixion on Golgotha Hill. Surrounding him are figures such as John, Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, Mary Magdalene, and other mourners who express their grief and devotion to Jesus. The painting beautifully portrays their sorrowful faces as they carefully handle the body of Christ with reverence.
