Episode 267 - Caravaggio's "Deposition"

from Rebuilding The Renaissance

Located in the Pinacoteca of the Vatican Museums, Caravaggio's "Deposition" was thought by many of his contemporaries to be the painter's greatest work.  The dramatic representation of very real-looking biblical characters handling the dead body of Christ in a shallow, tenebrously-lit foreground space makes for a very moving visual narrative.
