Filled with drama and reflecting the essence of human cruelty, this painting was created in 1507 by Raphael Santi, the great painter of the High Renaissance. Santi’s creation is the epitome of the talent of all the best geniuses of art throughout the Italian Renaissance. Religious subjects with such depressing intensity are not often found in the artist’s work, but the subject matter contributed to the creation of this painting. It was individually commissioned by Atalanta Baglioni, in memory of her son Grifonetto, who were members of a clan of mercenary families who made a huge fortune in the fighting of the wars of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Despite the community of the family, there were constant conflicts within the already grown clan.

Description of Raphael Santi’s painting The Descent from the Cross
Filled with drama and reflecting the essence of human cruelty, this painting was created in 1507 by Raphael Santi, the great painter of the High Renaissance.
Santi’s creation is the epitome of the talent of all the best geniuses of art throughout the Italian Renaissance.
Religious subjects with such depressing intensity are not often found in the artist’s work, but the subject matter contributed to the creation of this painting.
It was individually commissioned by Atalanta Baglioni, in memory of her son Grifonetto, who were members of a clan of mercenary families who made a huge fortune in the fighting of the wars of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
Despite the community of the family, there were constant conflicts within the already grown clan. For example, during a wedding feast, he killed his brother and his bride, and for this he himself fell at the hands of his own cousin.
According to legend, Raphael portrayed Grifonetto himself as Jesus Christ in a large altarpiece created for the church of St. Francis.
It depicts Jesus Christ killed after being crucified on the cross, surrounded by his followers and disciples. Deepest despondency and sadness befell them as they witnessed the cruel punitive measure to which their master had been subjected. Women and men, carefully caring for his body, carried the Savior away from the place of execution. Our Lady, already faint from the moral oppression that has befallen her, is no longer able even to look at her murdered son.
Despite all the tragedy of the story and the people depicted, the painting is filled with harmony, beautiful lines and colors, which the painter so appreciated. The crosses in the background, on one of which Jesus was executed, are already in the distance and do not overshadow the overall landscape of the painting, which carries the personification of the purity and lightness of the world through the Resurrection.
