For the altar he painted this panel: a group of figures carrying the body of Christ, almost suspended, with no real landscape around them. It is not a Deposition, because there is no cross. It is not a Pietà, because Christ is not in his Mother's lap. This is why the official label calls it Pietà (Transport of Christ).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the right edge there is a bearded man looking towards us: according to one theory, he is the painter's self-portrait.
