Descent from the Cross (Grey Passion-10) 1500

Hans Holbein the Elder's "Descent from the Cross (Grey Passion-10)" from 1500 is a poignant depiction of the moment Christ is taken down from the cross. The painting showcases the artist's mastery of detail and realism, particularly in the depiction of the figures' somber expressions and the intricate folds of their clothing. The stark contrast of the white robes against the green background amplifies the emotional weight of the scene, placing emphasis on the sacrifice of Christ and the grief of those present. This iconic work can be found at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart in Germany.
