The Descent from the Cross 1655 - 1703

"The Descent from the Cross" is a 17th-century etching that depicts the moment when Jesus Christ is being taken down from the cross. The artwork is attributed to an anonymous artist and is currently held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. The print showcases a dramatic scene, with figures gathered around the central event. The scene features several figures, including Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, and a group of men helping to remove him from the cross. This artwork is a prime example of Baroque style and its exploration of emotion and drama.
