"Christus na de kruisafneming" (Christ After the Taking Down from the Cross), an etching by Dutch artist Wilhelmus Johannes Steenhoff, portrays a poignant moment in the Passion of Christ. Created between 1873 and 1888, the artwork depicts a somber scene with a dramatic use of light and shadow. The figure of Christ, stripped of his clothing and crowned with thorns, lies on a stone slab, with the faint image of Mary Magdalene standing in the background. This powerful image is a testament to Steenhoff's mastery of etching techniques, showcasing his ability to convey emotion and detail in a minimalist style. This piece is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
