Deposition

This painting was done by Rogier Van Der Weyden, and it is a central panel of a triptych from Notre-Dame-hors-les-murs, and can be located Louvian, Belgium. It is oil on wood, and belongs to Late Medieval and early renaissance. The use of bold colors in this picture really won me over with the bold usage of colors. the story it tells, as Jesus is obviously seen as been lifeless and his mother Mary in pain and sorrow on the floor. I think the paint used these choices of color to distinct each of the characters in the painting. There is also a lot of emotions that can be gotten from each of the characters in the picture.
