Tossup
Adam Gordon stares at a painting of this scene every day while high on pills as the “first phase” of his artistic “project” in Ben Lerner’s novel Leaving the Atocha Station. A tall, crowded depiction of this scene was painted by the founder of the first School of Fontainebleau, Rosso Fiorentino, and is usually named for the town of Volterra. A group of people in light blues and pinks stand in the back of a depiction of this scene by Jacopo Pontormo. In a painting of this scene, the pose of the central figure resembles a crossbow to reflect its commission by a guild of archers. In that version of this scene by Rogier van der Weyden, Mary faints as Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea hold a dead body. For 10 points, name this scene in which Christ is lowered from the cross. ■END■
