"THE DEPOSITION the altarpiece adorning the Capponi chapel in the Florentine church of Santa Felicita, is the supreme cry of Pontormo, the Mannerist painter who more than any other infused his own inner torment into his work. Breaking with figurative tradition, in THE DEPOSITION the artist articulates an anticlassical language, setting the figures in a visionary space, practically abolishing chiaroscuro, and placing cool, acid colors alongside each other in unconventional and sometimes jarring combinations."
