After Raphael, Federico Barocci was the most important painter from Urbino; like Raphael, Barocci prepared for his painted compositions with an elaborate series of drawings. One of thirty-six known studies for his Deposition, painted c. 1568 / 69 for the Chapel of San Bernardino in the Cathedral of Perugia, this is one of three life-sized drawings, or "cartoons," from which he transferred his design to its support.
