About the Item

Beautiful Renaissance polychrome plaster, with original painting, applied to a wooden panel. The plaster depicts the Deposition of Christ, clearly visible in the center, with the dying Christ lying on the lap of his mother, Mary. Next to them, on the right, is the figure of Pontius Pilate, dressed in typical Roman centurion attire, while on the left is a kneeling woman, likely Mary Magdalene. Above, a beam of light descends toward Mary and her Son, a symbol of God; around it are depicted flying and weeping angels. At the bottom, within a "tabula ansata," is a Latin inscription relating to the Old Testament verse from Isaiah 53:5, which reads, "he was pierced for our iniquities, he was bruised for our transgressions." This stucco, of considerable value and antiquity, was generally placed in niches at street corners or in small chapels in country homes. It is a typical Tuscan-Sienese workmanship from the mid-16th century. Dimensions: H x W x D 60 x 44 x 8cm
