Associated with the 'maniera' (Mannerism); the Deposition in Volterra is frequently cited for its earthy depiction of Christ, emphatic use of color, and somber atmosphere.

It emphasizes the painting's emotional use of color, dramatic composition, and its earthy, somber treatment of Christ and the mourners.
