Deposition (after Pontormo)
oil on board
35.6 x 27.1 cm
size in frame: 39 x 31.6 x 3.2 cm
Frame hand-made and painted by me in my Norfolk studio
This is an oil sketch copy of a work by Italian painter Jacopo Carucci [1494 - 1557] (or Carrucci, usually known as Jacopo Pontormo). The Deposition from the Cross is an altarpiece. It was completed in 1528 and is widely considered to be the artists surviving masterpiece. Painted in tempera on wood, it is located above the altar of the Capponi Chapel of the church of Santa Felicita in Florence.
In my work, I am heavily inspired by the work of Pontormo. And of all his paintings, the Deposition is my favourite (potentially my favourite painting of all time). Every time I begin a new work I go back and study his paintings. This oil sketch was made when I was in the research phase of my current project Miniature.
