The painting "Deposition (scene 21)" by Duccio Di Buoninsegna is a work of art that stands out for its artistic style, composition, color, and the story behind it. This painting is one of the most important by the artist and is in the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

Duccio's artistic style is known for his ability to create realistic detail in his works. In "Deposition (scene 21)", we can see how each character is rendered with great precision, from the folds of their clothes to the expressions on their faces. Furthermore, the artist uses a soft and delicate painting style that gives the work a sense of calm and serenity.

The composition of the painting is another of its outstanding characteristics. Duccio uses a framing technique that gives depth to the work. The central figure, Jesus, is located in the center of the painting and surrounded by the characters that accompany him. The arrangement of the characters creates a sense of movement and drama in the play.

Color is another interesting aspect of painting. Duccio uses a soft, warm color palette that gives the work a sense of harmony and peace. Golden and brown tones are predominant in the work, giving it a feeling of warmth and tranquility.

The story behind the painting is also fascinating. "Deposition (scene 21)" is one of the scenes of the Passion of Christ, which represents the moment in which Jesus is taken down from the cross and placed in the tomb. The work was created in the 13th century and is considered one of the most important in medieval art.

Finally, a little-known aspect of the painting is its original size. At only 51 x 54 cm, the work is relatively small compared to other paintings of the time. However, its small size does not diminish its artistic importance, as it is a masterpiece of medieval art and one of the most important by Duccio Di Buoninsegna.
