"Deposition of Christ, 1535-1540, Jean de Rouen Created for the Monastery of Santa Cruz, with its own chapel, this is an early work by Jean de Rouen. It is a scene of strong dramatic tension created by the silence and supressed grief. The minutiae of the detailing in the bas-relief bring to the fore the sculptor's favored form of expression and the unmatchable softness of the marble from the D'el Rei quarry in Ançã."
