FURTHER DETAILS
IN THE MANNER OF RAPHAEL, THE DEPOSITION, OIL ON CANVAS, UNLINED

This impressive painting is a faithful copy of the work commissioned by Atalanta Baglioni in memory of her son Grifonetto (1477-1500), who was killed by his cousin Gentile (1466-1527) during a bloody fight for control of the familial power. Executed by Raphael (1483-1520) in 1507, the painting was originally installed in the church of San Francesco in Perugia, where it remained for a hundred years until it was stolen at the instigation of Pope Paul V (1550-1621). The latter gave it as a gift to his nephew, Cardinal Scipione Borghese (1577-1633) in 1608. The prime version is still in the Galleria Borghese in Rome (inv. no. 369).
