Its overall dimensions are 161 x 96 x 60 cm. The statues are deeply hollowed out on the rear side. During the restoration carried out by Mojmír Hamsík in 1972 the non-original polychrome and a number of later additions distorting the overall appearance were removed, [ 1 ] and the stability of the statues was ensured by pinning them.
Titian had always intended to be buried in the church in Pieve di Cadore where he was baptized.

The Deposition (also called the Bandini Pietà or The Lamentation over the Dead Christ) is a marble sculpture by the Italian High Renaissance master Michelangelo.The sculpture, on which Michelangelo worked between 1547 and 1555, depicts four figures: the dead body of Jesus Christ, newly taken down from the Cross, Nicodemus [1] (or possibly Joseph of Arimathea), Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary.
The church was progressively eclipsed by the church of Saint Maria dell' Anima. In 1876 Pope Pius IX founded a seminary for German-speaking priests for the special study of archaeology and church history to replace the Schola Francorum. Today, the church is still an important gathering place for the German-speaking community in Rome.
The church's altarpiece depicts the Virgin Mary holding the dead body of Jesus (a depiction known as a pietà), and it was painted by Gioacchino Loretta, a follower of Mattia Preti. The chapel of Our Lady of Loreto contains an altarpiece which depicts Mary with John the Baptist and the Blessed Gerard , painted by Bartolomeo Garagona in 1613.
