# Descent from the Cross \(detail\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ROSSO FIORENTINO]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on wood ## Commentary Rosso too acknowledges, as the Pontormo Deposition does, Michelangelo's Roman Pietà \(the body of Christ is clearly inspired by the Vatican Pietà\), but the Christ of the Deposition is far more closely connected with a drawing for a Pietà which Michelangelo made about 1519-20, and which haunted Rosso to the end of his life. ## Related artworks - [A Young Man]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Assumption of the Virgin]() - [Betrothal of the Virgin]() - [Dead Christ with Angels]() - [Decoration]() - [Deposition from the Cross \(detail\)]() - [Deposition from the Cross]() - [Descent from the Cross \(detail\)]() - [Descent from the Cross \(detail\)]() - [Descent from the Cross]() - [Gallery of Francis I]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
