Scuola dei Nazareni (XIX)

An impressive oil painting on canvas from the 19th century, devotional in inspiration, that echoes the iconographic and stylistic modules of the famous Nazarene artistic movement (close to the compositions of Johann Friedrich Overbeck and Josef von Führich). The scene depicts the solemn moment of Christ's deposition in the tomb. The lifeless body of Jesus is supported with delicacy and deep pathos by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, while the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist and the pious women attend the lament in an atmosphere of intense spirituality and contemplation. In the foreground, on the steps leading to the tomb, is placed the vase of fragrant ointments. The work stands out for its rigorous drawing, harmonious color palette, and attention to drapery, typical of the nineteenth-century Purist painting that looked to the great masters of the Italian Renaissance. A piece of great visual and historical-religious impact, ideal for collectors of sacred art and nineteenth-century paintings.
