DEPOSITION OF CHRIST

The present relief is after the central panel of a triptych executed by the Veronese painter Paolo Farinati in 1573, today housed in the Musée des Beaux Arts, Grenoble.The composition is, however, clearly based on the etching of the scene executed by Farinati's son, Orazio, in 1583 (an example is in the British Museum, no. 1874.0808.452) as it is in reverse.
